DEM LAND SEINE BILDER GEBEN | 27.04.

To mark Dieter Fietzke’s 80th birthday, filmclub münster and filmbüro NW are showing Dieter Fietzke’s SCHLAPPER WIND AUS SÜD OST – supporting film: The White Chinese Woman

Monday, 27 April, 7 pm, at the Schloßtheater

“Schlapper Wind aus Süd Ost” is one of the first films ever to be funded by filmbüro NW, at the time from the so-called “fire brigade pot”.

A documentary film about Nienberge’s village farming community in the early 1980s, despite its critical undertones, a commitment to the country and its people. The film describes life in and around Nienberge from the subjective point of view of Dieter Fietzke, who himself lived in the village farming community in the 1980s. The film celebrated its premiere in July 1983 in the hall of the Nienberge restaurant “Zur Post”.

… “At the centre of the film are three Nienberg residents as the main characters, who were accompanied by the camera throughout the entire filming period. Firstly, there is a farmer who tries to keep the use of machinery to a minimum with a great deal of improvisation. The second “star” is a small businessman who builds wire fences and would like to produce a wind turbine. Dieter Fietzke himself plays the third part. Unlike in conventional films, the cameraman takes an active part in the action…” Westfälische Nachrichten, 6.7.83

As a supporting film:
Die weiße Chinesin oder Der Versuch, einen Traum zu ergründen …” (Dieter Fietzke, 1987, 8 min.)

Dreams, desires, longings, the consequences of which sometimes frighten us… in this film they are addressed and consciously triggered by a combination of suggestive cinematic means: an endless flowing tracking shot through an old house; sustained neo-romantic music; a theatrically spoken literary text that attracts and repels in equal measure in its romanticising consistency…All these means are used to excess – but applied so thickly that they lead themselves ad absurdum in their cinematic function… Dieter Fietzke on “Die weiße Chinesin…”, 1987

Together with filmbüro NW – The event is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The filmclub münster is a joint programme organised by:
the Filmwerkstatt Münster, the Münstersche Filmtheater Betriebe, the Westfälischer Kunstverein and  Burg Hülshoff – Centre for Literature, and is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
