About Wochenschau I: Requiem für eine Firma
A documentary about the events at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb) in November 1968, which led to the termination of the training contracts of 18 students. While Director Heinz Rathsack dictates to his secretary Helene Schwarz the letter lifting the ban from the premises against 18 students, the students plan a general assembly inside the dffb despite the ban.
Directed by Roland Hehn, Elsa Rassbach, Rainer Boldt, Horst Schwaab, Gisela Tuchtenhagen, Lothar Schuster, Stefan von Ballaer, Dietmar Buchmann, Jürgen Peters, Wochenschau I: Requiem für eine Firma leans on a strong ensemble — Hartmut Bitomsky, Harun Farocki, Erwin Leiser — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1969.
