New German Cinema: World on a Wire (1973)
12/8/2011 7:00pm - 11:10pm
International House Philadelphia 3701 Chestnut Street
http://ihousephilly.org/events/motion-pi...
A dystopic science-fiction epic, World on a Wire is German wunderkind Rainer Werner Fassbinder's gloriously cracked, boundlessly inventive take on future paranoia. With dashes of Kubrick, Vonnegut and Dick, but a flavor entirely his own, Fassbinder tells the noir-spiked tale of reluctant action hero Fred Stiller, a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate and governmental conspiracy. At risk? Our entire (virtual) reality as we know it. This long unseen three-and-a-half-hour labyrinth is a satiric and surreal look at the weird world of tomorrow from one of cinema's kinkiest geniuses.

Please join us Monday, December 12th for networking and a film! "Tradurre" is a sixty minute documentary that explores the profession of translation: the director juxtaposes the life of a translator against that of a baker and of a musician. All are portrayed as different forms of art. "Translators have to master not only a language but also what's behind it: an entire culture and an idea of the world; that's why we have asked ten translators to come with us in this journey through words and languages and take us to discover these worlds" (Culture Unplugged). In Italian with English subtitles.
