From DEFA
Film Library:
This story of the miller Florian, who gave all his money to the
war against Napoleon, is loosely based on a true story. After
the war, Florian's reimbursement is challenged, and he must also
pay taxes on his destroyed mill. He resists the tax collectors
and takes off to Vienna, where he intends to defend his rights.
On the way, he rescues the Duchess of Guastalla from assault.
She also wants to go to Vienna, as His Majesty Franz II is
trying to contest an heir in her favor. With cunning, luck, and
dagger, Florian fights his way through a slew of nobility and
their secret police. In the end, he acquires multiple titles,
and the Duchess acquires him.

40th anniversary screening
allmovie.com:
Ken Annakin's large-canvas comedy "Those Magnificent Men in
Their Flying Machines" is set in 1910. In order to boost
circulation of his newspaper, Lord Rawnsley (Robert Morley)
offers 10,000 pounds to the first person who can fly across the
English Channel. A huge number of hopefuls enter the contest,
including the scheming Sir Percy Ware-Armitage (Terry-Thomas),
who, with the help of his henchman Courtney (Eric Sykes),
attempts to sabotage the other entries. There is also a love
triangle featuring Orvil Newton (Stuart Whitman) and Richard
Mays (James Fox) competing for the heart of Patricia Rawnsley
(Sarah Miles).
What is Todd-AO?
"TODD-AO 70mm film, plus the TODD-AO special camera, plus the
TODD-AO newly developed 6 channel high fidelity magnetic sound,
plus the TODD-AO "all purpose" 70mm projector and the great
arched TODD-AO screen equal the most revolutionary of all screen
inventions, with clarity of perspective, detail and color
reproduction never before achieved. As a result, with TODD-AO,
audience participation now has its fullest and truest
expression. Todd-AO is the dream of Michael Todd, plus the
technical skills of the American Optical Company whose research
staff headed by Dr. Brian O'Brien, jointly succeeded in
developing "a motion picture system that would photograph action
in a very wide angle....with one camera....on one strip of
film....to be projected from a single projector....on a very
wide screen....with a quality so perfect that the audience would
be part of the action, not just passive spectators.

Certainly the most important and artistic significant 70mm
Feature Film Production of DEFA
Don Francisco de Goya Lucientes (1746 - 1828) is an artist to
the court of Karl IV of Spain. He is well known and well-to-do,
but feels himself becoming more and more remote from the daily
life and suffering of the Spanish people. After meeting the
singer Maria Rosario in a Madrid tavern, where she is singing
revolutionary songs, he becomes even more reflective. Rosario is
hauled before the Inquisition. Goya is invited to attend as a
warning not to stray from the official path. But it doesn't stop
him from increasingly leaving the castle to portray the desires
and nightmares of simple people in his paintings. Soon the
Inquisition is on his trail…
Based on Lion Feuchtwanger's novel "This is the hour – Goya",
and starring the Lithuanian actor Donatas Banionis as main
character, the director Konrad Wolf creates an unconventional
adaptation with images of lasting impressions. Declared aim of
that big DEFA co production with the Russian LENFILM was to
portrait the character of the artist Goya and to show his
painful process of enlightenment in realizing the true Spanish
society. How closely can an artist align himself with the powers
that be if he wants to be honest and creative?
A destiny of an artist as allegory to present. The film was
supposed to be different to the western style of biographical
illustrative screen adaptations in using the cinematographic
tools. Director of Photography Werner Bergmann and his Russian
Colleague Konstantin Ryshow were trying to bring to appear their
special view on how to use wide-screen photography in
filmmaking. According to their principle that only the task not
the possibility demands the format. A point of view sometimes
contrary to the western view of cinematography. At premier night
the 2 part film had a length of 161 min. Some months later the
director himself changed the montage and shortened the film to
134 min. It was his own decision to make the intention in
portraying the painter Goya more understandable. This last
version is the only available one.

 Ron Fricke's next film
"Samsara" -
a work in progress
allmovie.com:
Named after a Sufi word that translates roughly
as "breath of life" or "blessing," "Baraka" is Ron
Fricke's impressive follow-up to Godfrey Reggio's non-verbal
documentary film "Koyaanisqatsi". Fricke was
cinematographer and collaborator on Reggio's film, and for
"Baraka" he struck out on his own to polish and expand the
photographic techniques used on "Koyaanisqatsi". The
result is a tour-de-force in 70mm: a cinematic "guided
meditation" (Fricke's own description) shot in 24 countries on
six continents over a 14-month period that unites religious
ritual, the phenomena of nature, and man's own destructive
powers into a web of moving images. Fricke's camera ranges, in
meditative slow motion or bewildering time-lapse, over the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, the Ryoan-Ji temple
in Kyoto, Lake Natron in Tanzania, burning oil fields in Kuwait,
the smoldering precipice of an active volcano, a busy subway
terminal, tribal celebrations of the Masai in Kenya, chanting
monks in the Dip Tse Chok Ling monastery...and on and on,
through locales across the globe. To execute the film's
time-lapse sequences, Fricke had a special camera built that
combined time-lapse photography with perfectly controlled
movements of the camera. In one evening sequence a desert sky
turns black, and the stars roll by, as the camera moves slowly
forward under the trees. The feeling is like that of viewing the
universe through a powerful telescope: that we are indeed on a
tiny orb hurtling through a star-filled void. The film is
complemented by the hybrid world-music of Michael Stearns.

Supported by the locals who live to the rhythm of monsieur Tsf’s radio, the

10th Anniversary of Stanley Kubrick's passing
allmovie.com:
A mind-bending sci-fi symphony, Stanley Kubrick's landmark 1968
epic pushed the limits of narrative and special effects toward a
meditation on technology and humanity. Based on Arthur C.
Clarke's story The Sentinel, Kubrick and Clarke's screenplay is
structured in four movements. At the "Dawn of Man," a group of
hominids encounters a mysterious black monolith alien to their
surroundings. To the strains of Strauss's 1896 Also sprach
Zarathustra, a hominid invents the first weapon, using a bone to
kill prey. As the hominid tosses the bone in the air, Kubrick
cuts to a 21st century spacecraft hovering over the Earth,
skipping ahead millions of years in technological development.
U.S. scientist Dr. Heywood Floyd (William Sylvester) travels to
the moon to check out the discovery of a strange object on the
moon's surface: a black monolith. As the sun's rays strike the
stone, however, it emits a piercing, deafening sound that fills
the investigators' headphones and stops them in their path.
Cutting ahead 18 months, impassive astronauts David Bowman (Keir
Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood) head toward Jupiter on
the spaceship Discovery, their only company three hibernating
astronauts and the vocal, man-made HAL 9000 computer running the
entire ship. When the all-too-human HAL malfunctions, however,
he tries to murder the astronauts to cover his error, forcing
Bowman to defend himself the only way he can. Free of HAL, and
finally informed of the voyage's purpose by a recording from
Floyd, Bowman journeys to "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite,"
through the psychedelic slit-scan star-gate to an 18th century
room, and the completion of the monolith's evolutionary mission.

openings
30th anniversary screening
allmovie.com:
"In space, no one can hear you scream." A close encounter of the
third kind becomes a Jaws-style nightmare when an alien invades
a spacecraft in Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic. On the way
home from a mission for the Company, the Nostromo's crew is
woken up from hibernation by the ship's Mother computer to
answer a distress signal from a nearby planet. Capt. Dallas'
(Tom Skerritt) rescue team discovers a bizarre pod field, but
things get even stranger when a face-hugging creature bursts out
of a pod and attaches itself to Kane (John Hurt). Over the
objections of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), science officer Ash
(Ian Holm) lets Kane back on the ship. The acid-blooded incubus
detaches itself from an apparently recovered Kane, but an alien
erupts from Kane's stomach and escapes. The alien starts
stalking the humans, pitting Dallas and his crew (and cat)
against a malevolent killing machine that also has a protector
in the nefarious Company.

Czeck premiere: 1.7.1990. Kino Mir 70 premiere:
9.10.1990
allmovie.com:
Like the TV series that shared the same title, "The Untouchables" was an account of the battle between gangster Al Capone
and lawman Eliot Ness, this time in the form of a feature film
boasting big stars, a big budget, and a script from respected
playwright David Mamet. Kevin Costner stars as Ness, a federal
agent who has come to Chicago during the Prohibition Era, when
corruption in the local police department is rampant. His
mission is to put crime lord Capone (Robert De Niro) out of
business, but Capone is so powerful and popular that Ness is not
taken seriously by the law or the press. One night, discouraged,
he meets a veteran patrolman, Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery), and
discovers that the acerbic Irishman is the one honest man he's
been seeking. Malone has soon helped Ness recruit a gunslinger
rookie, George Stone (Andy Garcia), and, joined by nebbish
accountant Oscar Wallace (Charles Martin Smith), the men
doggedly pursue Capone and his illegal interests. At first a
laughingstock, Ness soon has Capone outraged over his and
Malone's sometimes law-bending tactics, and the vain mobster
strikes back in vicious style. Ultimately, it is the most
unexpected and minor of crimes, tax evasion, which proves
Capone's undoing. All of the credits for The Untouchables
boasted big names, including music from Ennio Morricone and
costumes by Giorgio Armani. Director Brian De Palma continued
his tradition of including a homage to past masters of the
cinema with a taut stairway shoot-out reminiscent of a similar
sequence in Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925).

allmovie.com: Noted novelist and sometime film director James Clavell, wrote, directed,
and produced this adaptation of J.B. Pick's novel, set during the Thirty
Years' War of 1618-1648. During the chaotic confrontations and shifting
alliances of the war, a hidden valley protected from the outside world
becomes an oasis of peace. Vogel (Omar Sharif), a one-time school teacher
now on the run, travels into the peaceful valley. Following Vogel a short
time later is a rag-tag and exhausted army, led by The Captain (Michael
Caine). Utilizing Vogel as a mediator, the Captain arranges a truce with the
valley population -- pledging to protect the people of the valley from
invasion in return for food and shelter during the cold winter months. At
the end of the season, the army leaves to fight another battle, Vogel is
asked to depart from the hidden valley, and the valley and its population
continues on and endures.

allmovie.com:
A sequel to the low-budget sci-fi action thriller that made him
and star Arnold Schwarzenegger A-list Hollywood names,
writer/director James Cameron upped the ante with this follow-up
by employing a more sweeping storyline and cutting-edge special
effects. Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor, now a single
mother to rebellious teen John Connor (Edward Furlong), during
the late nineties. Having been informed by a time-traveling
soldier in the first film that John will one day grow up to
become humanity's savior from a computer-controlled Armageddon,
Sarah has responded by becoming a muscle-bound she-warrior bent
on educating John in survival tactics and battle strategies. Her
ranting about humankind's future has landed Sarah in an insane
asylum and John in the foster care system. The rebellious John
has responded to his situation by getting into scrapes with the
law. When a new and improved Terminator android called the
T-1000 (Robert Patrick) arrives from the future to eliminate
John, an older model T-800 (Schwarzenegger) is sent to protect
the boy. The T-1000, however, has the ability to morph itself
into any shape it desires, allowing it chameleon-like powers and
near indestructibility. The T-800 saves John's life and helps
break Sarah out of the institution. Staying only one step ahead
of the dogged T-1000, Sarah leads her son and the T-800 to the
headquarters of Cyberdyne Systems, the company that will invent
a robotic intelligence that will eventually take over the world.
There, they attempt to convince inventor Miles Dyson (Joe
Morton) to help them stop the future from ever occurring by
destroying his work. Dyson sacrifices himself in an explosion to
save the world, leading to a final showdown between the two
Terminators at a steel foundry.
