一台摄像机在特雷普托和克罗伊茨贝格之间的柏林墙地带拍摄了整整一天。在电影的快镜头中我们飞快的度过了一天,目睹了这一天的边境工事,人们晾晒衣物,打乒乓以及两德之间种种疯狂的举动。

星巴克霍格·迈因斯 (2002)
Starbuck Holger Meins Douban
other title: Starbuck Holger Meins
A documentary portrait of Holger Meins, the Red Army Faction member who died in Stammheim prison, following a hunger strike in 1974. His painful death was the culmination of a journey from art school, via film-making, to increasingly militant actions against the Vietnam War, media monopolies and corporate control. Friends contribute numerous memories, there are clips from his short work and valuable archive footage of both the times and his creatively oppositional community. If, finally, we do not come away with a clear sense of the man's interior motivation, this is partly because so much of his identity was bound up in the larger social frame, one well-communicated in this intelligent work. Meins' codename 'Starbuck', incidentally, was drawn from Moby-Dick

A red flag is carried through the busy streets of Berlin by a team of relay runners. The relay, in which a total of 15 individuals take part, begins in Schloßstraße in the district of Steglitz. Among the runners and flag bearers are Thomas Mitscherlich, Holger Meins and Gerd Conradt. The procession takes Rheinstraße, Hauptstraße and Dominicusstraße en route to its final destination in Berlin-Schöneberg. Under the astonished eyes of passers-by, the final runner raises the red flag on the balcony of the city hall building, the seat of the government of West Berlin.
