BY THE BOOK & MORE OR LESS BY THE BOOK 
Two film series on the occasion of the London Book Fair and European Literature Night 2014.

1. BY THE BOOK 
MON 7 APR – TUES 6 MAY
http://www.goethe.de/ins/gb/lon/ver/en12553599v.htm

Roughly bookended by the London Book Fair (8–10 April) and European Literature Night (14 May) this series of five documentary films drawn from the Goethe-Institut Film Archive looks at some of the mental and material processes it takes for a book to come into being, including how to develop a character, how to negotiate between languages when translating, or which type of paper to choose. These films are also portraits of five unique individuals. 

++++++++++++++++++++

2. MORE OR LESS BY THE BOOK
WED 16 APR - WED 25 JUN
http://www.goethe.de/ins/gb/lon/ver/en12557262v.htm

Complementing our By The Book series are four films that were inspired by or inspired a book. They include two adaptations by R.W. Fassbinder and Wim Wenders, both about women at odds with the social and religious norms of their times. The other two films take us from raucous ‘Ostalgia’ for 1970s East Berlin to a more reflective journey along a disused rail track in rural Bavaria.

OTHER SCREENINGS

MOVIEDROME PRESENTS KAMIKAZE 1989
MO 14 APR 2014
http://www.goethe.de/ins/gb/lon/ver/en12557238v.htm

This precursor of cyberpunk set in 1989 stars Rainer Werner Fassbinder in his last screen role. Squeezed into a leopard skin suit he wanders a garish utopian world as a police lieutenant who, while investigating a bomb threat against a powerful media co-operation, uncovers the latter’s ruthless plot to suppress all independent intellectual thought. With a soundtrack by Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream, this is a rare screening of a cult classic.
FRG 1981 /1982, colour, 106 mins. With English subtitles. Director: Wolf Gremm.

Introduced by Moviedrome co-hosts, filmmakers Ben Rivers and Shezad Daewood, along with a specially selected secret short.
