No other director has shaped the history of German and American film as much as Fritz Lang. Born in Vienna in 1890 and died in Beverly Hills in 1976, Lang created style-defining forms of science fiction, espionage and crime films in the 1920s and early 1930s with films such as "Metropolis", "The Testament of Dr. Mabuse" and "M - A City in Search of a Murderer". His works made in Hollywood, which combined forms and motifs developed in Europe with American themes and were deeply influenced by the experience of exile, are among the outstanding works of film noir and anti-Nazi film. Lang was not only a great aesthetic visionary, his films are also social seismographs and an expression of the social and political interests that Lang pursued with his projects. The three-day Fritz Lang weekend at City Kino Wedding offers a fascinating opportunity to see how his style and themes have developed over the course of 30 years of film history. Short introductions by film lecturer John Digance followed by discussions in the bar.
