Rainer Werner Fassbinder Season.
One of the key directors of the New German Cinema 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.
