Abschied THE FAREWELL 28 It is one of the last days of an exceptionally hot summer. Bertolt Brecht is about to leave his lakeside house among the tall birches in Brandenburg to return to Berlin for the upcoming theater season. Most of the women of his life are there: his wife Helene Weigel, daughter Barbara, the old lover Ruth Berlau, his latest flame, the nubile actress Käthe Reichel and sensous Isot Kilian, whose affections and body he shares with the rebel political activist Wolfgang Harich. They swim, write, eat, drink and philosophize about art, politics, the basic tents of life – and throughout, the Stasi is there – lurking on the sidelines – waiting.

Brecht is at the center of the storm in the heaven and hell of human relationships: love and hatred, jealousy and egomania, betrayal and dashed hopes. He struggles to make plans for a future that fate was soon to end. Jan Schütte studied literature, philosophy and history of art. He began making films in 1982. His documentaries include Ugge Bärtle – Bildhauer (1982), Da ist nirgends nichts gewesen außer hier (1983), Eigentlich wollte ich ja nach Amerika (1984), Verloren in Amerika (1988) and Nach Patagonien (1991). His feature debut, Dragon Chow (Drachenfutter, 1987), was awarded the Premio Cinecritica, the German Film Critic’s Prize and the Prix François Truffaut. His second feature film, Winckelmanns Reisen (1990), was presented with the CICAE Prize. Bye-bye America (Auf Wiedersehen Amerika, 1994) was screened in Cannes, received a German Film Prize in Silver and a Bavarian Film Prize. In 1995 he directed Eine Reise in das Innere von Wien (essay), in 1998 Fat World (Fette Welt) and in 2000 The Farewell (Abschied). Josef Bierbichler
Lost Killers Lost Killers follows a group of curious characters, stranded in the city of Mannheim, all of them struggling to survive and to fulfil their dreams. Branko and Merab are two hapless hitmen assigned to kill a businessman for reasons unknown. Absurd coincidences prevent them from carrying out their mission and so they join forces with Carlos, a gigantic illegal refugee from Haiti, and his girlfriend Lan, a tiny Vietnamese prostitute. But again the unsuspecting victim outwits them and a thoroughly unexpected murder takes place instead.
