The film historian Helmut Prinzler and the film critic Michael Althen take us on a journey through a hundred years of German film history. Directors such as Tom Tykwer, Wim Wenders, Christian Petzold, Andreas Dresen and cameraman Michael Ballhaus comment on selected scenes from classics including «Nosferatu», «Sissi», «Aguirre, Wrath of God». The directors explain what films influenced them and try and identify the typical characteristics of German films. EYE TO EYE -- a homage to German movies.Finished, at last -- An Almost Complete Copy of METROPOLIS Is Found in Buenos Aires


Fritz Lang's silent classic is considered the first-ever Science Fiction film. As the first cinematic vision of the lives of men in an industrial world, it has inspired generations. But few have seen the film the way Lang intended. Shortly after its premiere in 1927, «Metropolis» was cut drastically for the American market. Since then, few have seen the longer "director's cut". But a short while ago, an employee of the film museum in Buenos Aires discovered an unknown 16 mm copy of «Metropolis» in its uncut version. They discovered entire film sequences that historians had thought were lost forever. KINO takes a look at the masterpiece and at how this new discovery will re-write film history.Ute Soldierer's Interview with Martin Koerber, Restorer at the Deutsche Kinemathek

Sascha (Maximilian Brückner) thinks he has a bright future as a TV presenter. Adrian (Johannes Allmayer) dreams of meeting a woman who will understand him and Maria (Antje Widdra) hopes for a "real" job as an architect. But for the moment, they are all working -- temporarily of course - at a call center. Their boss Harms (August Zirner) tries to motivate his employees in the hard sell. "Every call is a new change," is his motto. But sales are poor and if the success rate doesn't increase by 5% soon, layoffs will follow. Winner of the Max Ophüls prize, André Erkau's debut film is based on his own experiences working in a call center.

Training puppies does nothing for criminality. Criminals will like puppies more and have sentiment towards them but puppies are not people. To see them as the same is to forget the problems that come with human experience. Its adressing those issues that will address the problem.
