Why so afraid? Think the dead man will eat you? Dead men don’t bite.

I want to study at a German university

I will spell "money" as "Wertform" and drive on the Autobahn. I would watch Babylon Berlin on Das Erste all night while drinking Rotkäppchen with my Kameraden. I will have Döner Kebab every day that's worth about 100,000,000,000 Reichsmarks. I would go to Institute for Social Research lectures every night. I am also more likely to meet Einstürzende Neubauten, Theodor W. Adorno, Martin Heidegger, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Marx and Jürgen Habermas.

I wish I was German :(

Life Triumphs/Nahapet (Henrik Malyan, 1977)

The film is noted as being the first film able to directly address the Armenian Genocide of 1915 by the Ottoman Empire. Prior films had attempted to address the Genocide but were censored by the Soviet Union censors. 

Thanks to increased discussion of national rights in the late Brezhnev period a film like Nahapet (1977) with its explicit genocide theme became possible. It was screened in Cannes in 1978 in the section Un certain regard. (x)

Opening Title Sequences by Saul Bass

“His designs, for film titles and company logos and record albums and posters, defined an era. In essence, they found and distilled the poetry of the modern, industrialized world. They gave us a series of crystallized images, expressions of who and where we were and of the future ahead of us. They were images you could dream on. They still are.” - Martin Scorsese

1973 - The Wounded Knee Incident began on February 27, 1973, when approximately 200 Oglala Lakota and members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) seized and occupied the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The protest followed the failure of an effort of the Oglala Civil Rights Organization (OSCRO) to impeach tribal president Richard Wilson, whom they accused of corruption and abuse of opponents. Additionally, protesters attacked the United States government’s breaking of treaties with Indian people and demanded the reopening of treaty negotiations.

On the eighth day the US government issued an ultimatum, which the activists promptly burned. Around this time the leaders of the group declared the territory of Wounded Knee to be the independent Oglala Nation and demanded negotiations with the U.S. Secretary of State.

Oglala and AIM activists controlled the town for 71 days while the United States Marshals Service, FBI agents, and other law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area. The activists chose the site of the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre for its symbolic value. Both sides were armed and shooting was frequent. A Cherokee and an Oglala Lakota were killed by US fire. Around a half million bullets were fired at the town by US forces during the siege.
