Alexander Kluge, Die Artisten in der Zirkuskuppel: Ratlos (The Artists in the Big Top: Perplexed,1967): Alexander Kluge was a practising lawyer when he made his first film, the documentary short Brutalität in Stein (Brutality in Stone, 1960 ), together with Peter Schamoni. The film won him recognition at the Oberhausen Short Film Festival, receiving one of the main prizes. In 1962, he was a prime figure in promulgating the Oberhausen Manifesto; thereafter, he supported actively the founding of the Kuratorium Junger Deutscher Film. His first feature, Abschied von Gestern (Yesterday Girl), 1966), won a Silver Lion at Venice.
