This made-for-tv melodrama stars Margit Carstensen as the eponymous Martha, a librarian who meets her future husband Helmut (Karlheinz Böhm) on vacation abroad. Once married, Helmut’s domineering and sadistic behavior leads Martha to believe that her new husband is trying to kill her. Featuring the most famous tracking shot in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s oeuvre, this New German Cinema gem recalls paranoid women’s films from the 1940s and Douglas Sirk’s 1950s melodramas. Content note: depictions of emotional and physical abuse. Screened in German with English subtitles.

This event is part of the monthly German Film Series and is sponsored by the University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures and the Max Kade House. See https://lsa.umich.edu/german for additional dates and films.

Wo Ist Coletti? (1913) (January 23, 2019 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59915 59915-14797386@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 23, 2019 6:30pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

*With LIVE musical accompaniment & dinner

Max Mack’s Where is Coletti? (1913) is the first known detective film from the German-speaking world. But rather than chart the piecemeal resolution of a sensational crime, it is the comedic Detective Coletti that the film pursues. Gone incognito in the bustling metropolis of Berlin, Coletti dares the public to play detective--to scan city streets and sweep crowded cafes in search of their elusive prey. Berliners have 48 hours to find Coletti and turn in him in for a handsome reward of 100.000 Mark.

Light dinner served at 6:30, film introduced at 7:00 by Graduate Student Kathryn Holihan of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. Screened in German with English subtitles.

Millis Erwachen/Milli’s Awakening (Natasha Kelly, 2018) (February 20, 2019 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60111 60111-14838297@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 6:30pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

Milli's Awakening takes its name from the painting Sleeping Milli (1911), in which expressionist painter Ludwig Kirchner takes an eroticizing and exoticizing view of his Black female model. But one instance in centuries-long history of Black people in Germany, “Milli” remains silent, speaking volumes about how Black women have been reduced to anonymous objects of desire. Milli’s awakening seeks to intervene in this history, by bringing together the voices of eight Black German women of different generations. Through their artistic practices they have defined self-determined positions within white German mainstream society. Like a quilt, the film unfolds in a way reflecting the diversity and interwoven nature of these (hi)stories.

The German Film Series begins with a light dinner at 6:30 pm followed by introduction of the screening at 7:00 pm. **Screened in German with English subtitles. With Q&A in English with director Natasha Kelly following the film. Introduced by Professor Kristin Dickinson.

Co-sponsored by Alamanya, with support from the Center for European Studies and DAAS.

This experimental film from 1962 premiered the same year that 26 young German filmmakers, including Ferdinand Khittl, declared “papa’s cinema” dead.
