The Marriage of Maria Braun: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Season
Maria Braun marries a young soldier amid the Allied bombing raids of World World II the day before he must return to the Russian front. Awaiting his return in 1945, she is informed of his death and must endure and navigate the post-war years alone. Mirroring the German Wirtschaftswunder ('economic miracle'), she determinedly rises to prosperity as a self-made woman.

RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER
The New German Cinema movement, a period which lasted from the sixties until the eighties, saw filmmakers such as Werner Herzog, Margarethe von Trotta, Wim Wenders and Helma Sanders-Brahms rise to prominence both in West Germany and internationally. One of the key directors of this movement was, without a doubt, Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He helmed over 40 feature films and a 13 hour television series before his tragic death at the age of 37. Triskel Arts Centre presents a small sample of this incredible artist’s work with a selection of four of his films.
