Film Klub presents: Er ist wieder da (Look who's back, 2015) Wed, April 5th at 6pm in T116 in German with English subtitles Trailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtW1Lq5c04E Description: Berlin 2014: 70 years after his death, Adolf Hitler wakes up somewhere in Berlin. Initially, he is very confused and struggles with living in this new, yet familiar, environment, but everybody who meets him is extremely impressed with his spot on “Hitler impersonation” and soon he gets a job as a TV-comedian. He travels through Germany and meets many like-minded people (which is even more frightening if you know that some of these documentary-style scenes were not scripted but were actual people’s reactions to being edged on by a Hitler-lookalike) and spreads his message under the cover of satire. But when are people going to realise that Hitler’s rants are not just by-products of elaborate method acting but actually express his opinion? And is it really true that Germany has learnt from its mistakes and would never allow someone like Adolf Hitler to rise to power again? Between hilarious comedy and dead serious social criticism, this film is very much worth the watch! Make sure to come by for some great entertainment!

The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui - Lime Tree Theatre

Dear German Students, in week 12 you have the opportunity to go see the play 'The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui' (German: Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui) by distinguished German playwright Bertolt Brecht at the Belltable. It chronicles the rise of Arturo Ui, a fictional 1930s Chicago mobster, and his attempts to control the cauliflower racket by ruthlessly disposing of the opposition. The play is a satirical allegory of the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany prior to World War II. Very much worth the visit!

Department of German Studies Monday, 27 February 2017, 11-12.30, T2.02 Dance Emergency/Damhsa na hEigeandala (TG4, 2014, by Dr Deirdre Mulrooney) Film screening, followed by a discussion with the author The event is part of GE 4728 “Images of Ireland and Germany in Literature and Film” ALL WELCOME! Dance Emergency/Damhsa na hEigeandala (TG4, 2014), by Dr Deirdre Mulrooney Irish with English subtitles, 52 minutes Discussion in English “A forgotten chapter of modern dance history, reflecting aspects of Irish history, physical education, and Irish-German relations, is revealed in Deirdre Mulrooney’s account of Erina Brady, an Irish-German dancer who shortly before World War II brought German expressionist modern dance (Ausdruckstanz) to a conservative, neutral Ireland. There, Brady, the daughter of a former Irish priest who was initially mistaken for a Nazi spy, opened a dance school to teach the Mary Wigman technique. Her dramatic story, framed within the context of the thriving Bohemian milieu of ‘Emergency’ Dublin, comes to life with scenes reenacted by Olwen Fouéré.” (https://www.filmlinc.org/films/dance-emergency/) Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wH5Fcv4M44 For a more in-depth account of Erina Brady’s story, see Mulrooney, D., 2015.
