Synopsis:

This box set contains the following Helke Sander's films:

BeFreier und Befreite (Liberators Take Liberties):
A 2-part documentary on the crime of rape perpetrated against German women by men serving in the Red Army during the advance on Berlin in 1945. The first part allows the women to speak of their experiences and compares the very different memories of the men and women involved. The second part examines the consequences of the rapes and talks to the children born through rape and now filed by the authorities under 'damage caused by occupation forces'.

Der Subjektive Faktor (The Subjective Factor):
This story handles the movement to end discrimination against women - and its context, through a semi-autobiographical account of the years between 1967 and 1970 that the director Helke Sander spent in West Berlin. The activist Anni (Angelika Rommel) opens an album her son gave her on the political movement called 'Ausser Parlamentarische/Opposition,' and compares that with her own memory of the end of the 1970s. At the same time, her son acquired another book for himself on a commune that is fighting against the use of atomic energy and for better care of the environment. The book, the album, and Anni's reminiscences mesh to create a multisided picture of the causes that gained adherents during a particular place and time in history. With only $200,000 to make this film, Sander has accomplished a lot given her financial restrictions.

Der Beginn aller Schrecken ist Liebe (Love Is the Beginning of All Terror):
The unfortunate Traugot (Lou Castel) suddenly finds himself sandwiched between his former lover Freya (director Helke Sander) and his new love Irmtraut (Rebecca Pauly), both women are good friends -- or were. Traugot waffles between the two women and ultimately, seems to want both, why not. Freya vacillates between exasperation, a still-burning love for the waffler, anger against him, and the desire just to leave it all behind. As the story unfolds, she takes action while under the influence of her runaway emotions, and perhaps that is the catalyst that finally shakes up Traugot and forces him to make up his mind about his potentially monogamous future. As in previous films by director Helke Sander, women's issues are subtly raised and handled appropriately, in an engaging and relevant story told with wit and a visually sensitive camera.

Die Allseitig reduzierte Persönlichkeit - Redupers ( The All-Around Reduced Personality: Outtakes ):
Helke Sander's 1977 film about life near the Berlin Wall. We follow a freelance photographer trying to make ends meet and sort through the small-minded politics, the images and the realities of life in a divided city.

Also includes the following films:
