--This is what Barbara Wurm wrote about CORNEILLE-BRECHT in Senses of Cinema:
http://www.sensesofcinema.com/2010/festival-reports/vienna-international-film-festival/
" Another radically sublime lesson in remobilising the “demos” was held by Jean-Marie Straub together with Cornelia Geiser in Corneille – Brecht. A woman at the doorstep of a Parisian balcony, reciting verses by Corneille. Women sitting in a living room chair one after the other, reading Brecht’s Verhör des Lukullus. The art of speaking texts in combination with breaking the linearity of expression has left the mythological Pavese territory and moved on to the ancient world of imperialism. For both Corneille and Brecht, Rome was the allegorical incarnation of the monstrosity of power, and Straub’s reading session in modern-day Paris only underlines the actuality of the need for political antagonism. One strong voice is enough to evoke Brecht’s vengeful choir of slaves and shadows – no one fears the king any more, sovereignty is shaken to the ground."

--I wish I have a chance to see PEPPERMINTA by Pipilotti Rist, and GO GET SOME ROSEMARY by Ben Safdie and Joshua Safdie.

I change my schedule. On Sunday 7, I will see GUTS SHORT PROGRAMME 1 at 19.40 hrs instead of AMER. And I will see AMER on Thursday 11 at 13.10 hrs instead of SPINE ON SHINE. This is because I just noticed that GUTS SHORT PROGRAMME 1 includes the films of Matthias Mueller and Mario Pfeiffer, who are my favorite directors.
