Steine geben Brot

Johannes Fritze, Germany, 1936, 14 min
Language: German, no subtitles  

“Steine geben Brot” presents the daily work of a quarry as the work of the German worker, from the blasting, to the hard work of breaking out and shaping the paving stones, to laying them on the newly created roads. Shots of explosions in slow motion, the toughened bodies of the labourers and the tapping of stones to the beat of a workers' song make the toil seem like a necessary duty for the construction and expansion of Germany.


In the 1930s, the Reichsbahn-Filmstelle produced several propaganda short films in the series “Die Straßen Adolf Hitlers” (Adolf Hitler’s Roads), which were intended to sell the construction of the German autobahn to the population as a great and unavoidable achievement of the National Socialists. These included “Steine geben Brot.”

Bahn frei

Wilhelm Marzahn, Germany, 1935, 17 min
Language: German, no subtitles

In the context of a small feature story, “Bahn frei” shows the advantages of the obstacle-free Reichsautobahn compared to the manifold obstacles that stand in the way of the motorist on ordinary city and country roads. Railways, herds of sheep, schoolchildren and horse-drawn carriages always prevent drivers from continuing their journey. Only the Reichsautobahn provides a remedy, true to the motto “Clear the way for the brave.” What begins as a feature film becomes an educational film about the correct use of the newly created roads and ultimately the glorification of an all-German will.

Stuttgart Mi Amor

Marcelo Lagos, Germany, 1995, 47 min
Silent Movie

A magician and a street musician meet a mysterious man in a wrecked house with whom they embark on a journey through nocturnal Stuttgart. After filming, the bar built especially for the film became the “Zapata” art and culture club, known far beyond the city limits. The film is a poetic document of the beginning gentrification in Stuttgart, but it can stand for any other urban space from that time. It is about places of displacement and the magic inherent in such places. It was shot on the unexposed footage of “Schindler's List”, which the director Marcelo Lagos had bought from Arri for a small amount of money at the time. The film was later invited to the Havana Film Festival by Gabriel García Márquez.
