Sehora Carrar's Rifles (1953) - 54 min.
The play was written during the first year
of the Spanish Civil War as a direct show of support for the threatened
Spanish republic. In it Brecht deviated from his aesthetic standards. Instead
of using a dramatic form, which aimed at producing an indirect effect,
Brecht presents in a very direct way an exemplary figure, since Senora
Carrar, the main character, recognizes her situation and acts accordingly.

Galileo (1947) - 30 min.
Brecht had written the play, Leben des Galilei"
1938 while living in exile in Denmark. What interested him about it was
the survival in times of darkness. Galileo Galilei uses his cunning in
dealing with those in power. His realisation that the Copernican system
of the universe is correct, drives him into the fangs of the Inquisition.
This in the end forced him to retract his defense of the Copernican system.
The film is meant to document the methods of acting and the stage arrangements,
focal points of the Brecht Workshop. Gaza, Tuesday 1516 at 20:00, Rashad

The Mysteries of a Hairdressees Shop (1 923) - 24 min.
A cinematic grotesque with the legendary Mbnich
comedian Karl Valentin, who was for Brecht, one of the most strikingly
intellectual figures of ttfe,-'day" and who, with his extremely dry and
surrealistic humour, had a strong influence on him. The film is cinematic
fun created by theatre people who enjoyed breaking with tradition, and
in doing so are the only artists in Germany to keep up with the international
standards of the grotesque film. Gaza, Tuesday 1516 at 20.00, Rashad
