Rue de Blamage

Herdsman Fabiano will be a father soon. He owns fifty goats and eight cows and is trying his best to produce the alpine cheese that his hippie parents made a name for themselves with in the '70s, in an isolated valley of Ticino. But nothing is going the way it should. He's in debt, and feels guilty for a fatal accident which occurred the previous year, which haunts him. How can he and his girlfriend build a life together under such difficult circumstances?

His middle-class demeanour makes him inconspicuous and brings him close to world events. He was the first German to photograph Auschwitz. He became the chronicler of the young FRG and GDR. His iconic pictures of the ‘68 movement shape our perception to this day. He came closer to Beuys than anyone else. He continues to work on series of photographs that he began years ago: the legendary photographer Michael Ruetz.

The Dresden Sinfoniker and Pet Shop Boys prepare for a unique screening of Battleship Potemkin utilising a prefabricated building in what was once East Germany.

How is our dialect faring in the globalized age? When the "railroad age" began 160 years ago, Switzerland feared that High German would supplant the dialect. The opposite has happened. The dialect persists and continues to blossom.

Hans-Dieter Grabe recollects his memories of his experiences in 1945, when he was eight years old and living in Dresden.
