With the left shoulder to a pillar, a pair of sunglasses in the jacket pocket, leaning up, a cigarette, whose smoke obscured the face, literally.

James Dean on Times Square, but, of course, the hair!, a lot of Keith Richards: The Director of Festivals for artistic documentary film as a Pop icon, this is only possible in Duisburg, no, that was only in Duisburg, Germany, because with the end of the 42. Edition of the film week, the 34 is responsible for, has given Ruzicka this weekend, the line.

The Name of a successor has been circulating for months, but that he was not proclaimed until the end of this year's film week officially irritated. It should be, so hear, in the form of alien, the Treaty has not yet been signed. Since Ruzicka's farewell for about a year, would have been enough time for the formalities.

A Problem with your reproductive had the Duisburg rhetoric never. Over several decades Ruzicka has found time and again, young people, you have practiced only in the selection Committee, then in the Moderation of film discussions. This year, it was amazing to see how certain characters Voice repeated: A presenter takes your thoughts to a particular setting. The filmmakers don't know what is required of him as a reaction and look helpless, then the presenter: "So the question of aesthetic responsibility." to formulate

questions as questions is a specialty of the city of Duisburg, is rhetoric. In it is likely to be due to, among other things, but the Problem is that this kind of speaking with the "Proliferation" (Ruzicka) In individual circles of friends, establish relationships and seminars, it has spread from the city of Duisburg, Dell place, the "industry" has ignored over the years, the right-wing populist elite criticism can be dissimilar, always bräsiger.

the spirit is history in the making

The most important guarantee for the legacy of the Era Ruzicka should not be in this year therefore, the programme, the rather uninspired from the forum section of the Berlinale fed, but the already-mentioned interview tape.

That Ruzicka in the shorter, fact-oriented questions from Dell - for example, to the marginalisation of women in Duisburg or the big festival competition from the East, Doc.Leipzig - Taciturnity and carefree attitude does, of course, is also significant. Here, it is clear, what remains of this Talk, and thus also conveys to the Festival is open.
