Krieg und Frieden (War and peace): Documentary and film collage examining the short-range missile crisis at the peak of the Cold War, when neutron bombs could have potentially annihilated Central Europe. Includes fictive episodes at the end promoting an anti-nuclear, pro-peace message ("Space Talk," "Atom Bunker," and "Kill Your Sister"). Documentary footage of Chancellors Helmut Kohl and Helmut Schmidt in action, along with various European and American leaders highlight the urgent issues of the day. ##Der Kandidat (The Candidate): This political documentary puts together clips from newsreels, archives, and television to review the controversial career of Franz Josef Strauss who was running for Chancellor of West Germany at the time this documentary was made. Strauss founded the Christian Socialist Union and had a long political history as a parliamentarian (1949), Special Minister (1952), and by 1955 was Minister of Defense. His career began to unravel when a series of scandals hit the presses that involved him in kickbacks and abuses of power. Strauss was forced to resign his post as Defense Minister in the early 1960s. ##Krieg und Frienden = War and peace / directors, Stefan Aust, Alexander Kluge, Volker Schlöndorff (118 min., 1982) -- Auf der Suche nach einer praktisch-realistischen Haltung (12 min., 1983) -- Der Kandidat = The Candidate / directors, Stefan Aust, Alexander Kluge, Alexander von Eschwege, Volker Schlöndorff (124 min, 1980) -- Große Reiche muß man leiten wie man kleine Fischlein brät (15 min., 1993).

Der Angriff der Gegenwart auf die übrige Zeit: In this "film essay," director Alexander Kluge examines the nature of technology and (urban) identity, the intersection of film and new media in the creation of art, and the delusive quest to manipulate time. There are two different stories with both fictional and documentary aspects. In one story, a foster parent cares for a traumatized young girl who is now an orphan after witnessing a car crash that killed both her parents. After the foster-parent does the right thing and takes the girl to her aunt --her court-appointed guardian -- she is shocked to see that neither the wealthy aunt nor her servants are very interested in the girl. An unusual decision follows. In the other story, a director goes blind in the middle of a film project but has to be kept on because of his contract. This situation leads to some philosophizing on the nature of film and art in the modern world. ##Vermischte Nachrichten: This drama strings together vignettes of events taken from everyday newspaper headlines. Germans are shown in their reactions to World War II, minorities, and the elderly. A side plot follows a meeting between former West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and East German leader Erich Honecker. ##Special features: Disc 1. 16 Minutenfilme (17 min., 1970); Blinde Liebe: Gespräch mit Jean-Luc Godard (24 min., 2001); Zwischen Mitternacht und der vierten Nachtstund (1 min., 2006); ROM-Bereich: Filmalbum von Weinmann/ Kluge " Neonröhren des Himmels" in German.
