This stunning feature debut by Alexander Kluge launched the movement known
as the New German Cinema after the film's triumph at the Venice
International Film Festival. At the heart of the film is the performance of
Alexandra Kluge, the director's sister, who stars as a young East German
woman named Anita G. Carrying all of her belongings in a flimsy suitcase,
Anita passes through the Berlin Wall looking for a better life in the
promised land of West Germany. But, that dream eludes her because she can't
let go of the childhood and past experiences that have determined her
unfortunate path.
The films are in German with English subtitles. No registration required.
The cinema opens 30 minutes before each screening and seating is on a
first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call 8170978 or
