This cycle is an exciting journey to Fassbinder's work through 58 sessions, in which 35 feature films and the two short films directed by the German filmmaker will be screened.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder lived and filmed fast. For Jean-Luc Godard, one of the filmmakers that most admired the director of The Law of the Strongest (1975), Fassbinder did the essentials of the New German Cinema on his own. It may be exaggerated to afirm something like that, specially because Wim Wenders or Werner Herzog also contributed significantly to the creation of an innovative German cinematography in the 1970s. But the rage and forcefulness with which Fassbinder built his filmography is unparalleled in European cinema. He made thirty-nine films between 1969 and 1982, plus two previous short films in 1966. He also directed two television series and one of them, "Berlin Alexanderplatz" (1980), is today a benchmark of European cathodic fiction.
In an urgent and direct style, increasingly skeptical, and always working with a stable team of interpreters emerged from his own theater company, Fassbinder built an incisive discourse on class difference, state terrorism, sexual identity and loving relationships of dependence and submission, and also dedicated a trilogy to post-war Germany. Titles such as The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972), We all call ourselves Ali (1974), Journey to the happiness of Mama Küsters (1975), The Marriage of Maria Braun (1978) and Lola (1981) define an unbearable style, an angry download against social norms and film conventions.
This cycle is an exciting journey to Fassbinder's work through 58 sessions, in which 35 feature films and the two short films directed by the German filmmaker will be screened, as well as his two television series. This programme is complemented by other sessions named Fassbinder + Plus, in which 17 films related in various ways with Fassbinder and his work will be screened, films that inspired him and others that emerged under his influence. Some lectures will also be programmed in order to reach a closer approach to the figure of a singular filmmaker.
