- DirectorGeorg WildhagenStarsSonja ZiemannRita StreichCamilla SpiraFor the corpulent nobleman, Sir John Falstaff, the inn in the small English town of Windsor is the best of all places. Here he can indulge in excessive dining and intemperate drinking, as well as swagger and boast about his adventures, particularly those of an amorous nature. At present, he has designs on the two young women, Mistress Reich and Fluth, who, in turn, lead our paunchy hero mightily by the nose. Mistress Reich indeed has much to deal with: her pretty daughter, Anna, has no lack of suitors and the parents cannot agree on who the future son-in-law should be. Anna, however, has already made her choice: she wants to marry young Master Fenton, a match which fails to suit her parents' plans. She plans a clandestine wedding ceremony in the forest. But it so happens that the townspeople join forces on the same night to sour stout Falstaff's life in Windsor and to drive him out of town. To pull off this dirty trick, Mistresses Reich and Fluth arrange yet another rendezvous with Falstaff in the forest at midnight. The citizens disguise themselves and now appear to the love-sick Sir John as ghosts. This is more than he can take and, horror-stricken, he flees Windsor forever. This musical masterpiece was questioned by the SED prior to its release due to the film's portrayal of societal relations. Great comedic performances.

- DirectorAndy WarholStarsMarie MenkenElecktrahWaldo Díaz-BalartRonald Tavel's THE LIFE OF JUANITA CASTRO is one of Andy Warhol's triumphs as a filmmaker. A playwright (Tavel himself) taunts a number of actors into improvising a truly ridiculous but subtlely meaningful meditation on Fidel Castro and his family, at a time when the revolution was bringing back disquieting stories of executions and imprisonments and, particularly, virulent hatred and torture of homosexuals in Castro's Marxist paradise. Hilarious as JUANITA is, it remains a history lesson wherein fascism itself is on display and the audience is encouraged to laugh---but with some discomfort.

- DirectorFrancesco CeccoliJeffrey ZaniEnnio Zani, a former rider and mechanic, remembers in his workshop the story of the first motorcycle racing team ever in the Republic of San Marino, a little independent country located in the Italian peninsula. The story of his childhood, when he gets in touch with bikes and starts to work as a mechanic, is the previous part of a story that involves other riders and motorcycle lovers from the late 50s, like his brother Italo, Glauco Sansovini, Piergiovanni Volpinari, Glulio Manzaroli and Alfio Beccari. Through interviews, vintage photos and old videos, a lot of crazy anecdotes describe the spirit and the passion of the racing team. The protagonists explain how the first motorcycles were built (using old scrap parts), how they organized the first road races, how they built the first motocross track in San Marino, how they fought against rivals all around Italy, supported by their love for this sport but with no money at all. The members of the Scuderia Filibusta are the incarnation of the Italian culture during the 60s: passionate nature, foolish acts, dedication and spontaneity. Good food, good company and good memories that now are now captured in a documentary. The importance of bikes in Italian culture is easy to describe. During the 50s, a lot of motorcycle companies were active in the peninsula. Among them, the main were Moto Guzzi, Benelli, Moto Morini, Gilera, Ducati and Piaggio. At the same time, a lot of riders reached worldwide success, including the most titled rider ever, Giacomo Agostini, who won 15 world titles in his career. While Agostini was winning international races, thousands of Italians were buying tickets to see races and participating in minor competitions all across the nation. The smallest were organized by local churches: on Sundays, people were riding scooters in gymkhanas in many towns confirming their love for motor-sports. Scuderia Filibusta started from there, reaching in 1968 the fifth place in the Eight Motogiro d'Italia, a road race of more of 1,000 miles.
