A detailed reconstruction of the censorship case against the landmark Weimar-era communist film, Kuhle Wampe, or Who Owns the World? (1932). Directed by Slatan Dudow, the crew and cast included left-wing luminaries, such as playwright Bertolt Brecht, composer Hanns Eisler and balladeer Ernst Busch. The film was the subject of vehement disputes and was banned twice for revolutionary and communist tendencies that were perceived to threaten the state. About 230 meters of the original film fell victim to the censor’s shears. This historic censorship case was argued over the course of three sessions. Censored: Kuhle Wampe re-enacts the censorship hearings, based on original minutes and documents, as well as personal records of the case. In addition to footage from the original film, this docudrama includes original clips of Berlin in the 1920s and '30s and short testimonies, filmed in the 1970s, with some of the actors involved in the original Kuhle Wampe film production.

Like Tim & Erics Bedtime Stories on ACID! Hilarious and good for the family. An odd couple detective pairing find themselves sucked between realities, only guided by a talking box and a fear of sheep, they must solve cases in order to return home. One day they are working in a modest office in a place very familiar, the next they are swept into a place that is neither here nor there. (Technically it is here, regardless if it is where or there or whatever.) With the assistance of a less than willing box, Milly, Detective Emmet T. Head and Doctor Detective Almond E. Joy are fast on the trail presented to them by an unknown force. Only time will tell if the "heroes," (term used with extreme flexibility) can find a way to get back to reality or remain trapped in a world they are slaves in.
