Eisenstein’s art of montage and Marx’s critique of the trade in commodities are fundamental bases of modernity – yet we have lost touch with modernity just as we have lost touch with antiquity. What can Marx and Eisenstein tell us about our current cultural and social production, Kluge wonders, but because it’s Kluge asking, there are many answers and even more new questions. ... (Program 3) concentrates on the “paradoxes of exchange society“. Is Karl Marx the Darwin of political economy? Poet Durs Grünbein comments on Brecht’s rendering of “The Communist Manifesto” in hexameter verse and musician and entertainer Helge Schneider plays the role of a reading worker. Kluge alternates these with apocryphal film scenes from the ideological antiquity, such as the industrial opera “Machinist Hopkins” from 1929." -Goethe-Institut Filmkatalog (https://www.goethe.de/) Thu, 09 Apr 2026 07:27:43 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/e9fee13e-53b7-4b95-bf41-9277a3166d0e All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
