Einübung ins Paradies - Nachdenken über 1989 (2019)
November 9, 1989, the day the Wall came down, was one of those days when it became clear that the world had changed "immediately and without delay" once and for all. [...] But it was not only politics and the lives of many people that changed with the world, but also the way we think. And more permanently than one might think. For a long time after that evening, there were calls for a major, analytical reappraisal of what had happened. After all the talk about bananas, the German feature pages hoped for "the great German novel of the turnaround". The fact that this has not appeared in the last 30 years has to do with the fact that thinking and art have changed forever along with the world. (Text: Armin Kratzert; Translated with DeepL) (Poster: dpa-Bildfunk/Peter Kneffel)

The Satanic Verses Affair (2009)
Twenty years ago, novelist Salman Rushdie was a wanted man with a million pound bounty on his head. His novel, The Satanic Verses, had sparked riots across the Muslim world. The ailing religious leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini, had invoked a little-known religious opinion - a fatwa - and effectively sentenced Rushdie to death. This film looks back on the extraordinary events which followed the publication of the book and the ten year campaign to get the fatwa lifted. Interviews with Rushdie's friends and family and testimony from leaders of Britain's Muslim community and the Government reveal the inside story of the affair.
