Synopsis:

Whether Peter Hack's poem, Shakespeare's Winter's Tale, or philosophical and satirical observations peppered with quotations from Marx, this double-disc set presents the work of more than forty years. A selection of Kurt Weiler's most remarkable artistic DEFA animated films for adults, raising a remarkable treasure of German film history. After years in exile in England from 1939 to 1950, Kurt Weiler developed in East Germany a completely new form of dolls and collage animation films, which focuses on scarcity and abstraction in narrative, movement and design. Whether magical fairy tale or witty polemic, Kurt Weiler's movies speak with extremely clear, yet very poetic language, imagination, belief and progressive Jewish humor.
