Funimation customers will lose access to certain digital titles that they have purchased when the streamers merge on April 2.
In many ways, the merger between Sony-owned anime platforms Funimation and Crunchyroll is a boon for fans. It brings much of the content previously available on Funimation over to the company’s flagship Crunchyroll service and provides a more expansive library of titles for anime fans to explore and engage with. However, there are significant issues involved in the process, as Funimation customers who have digital copies of certain titles are set to lose them in the migration. Sony is promising that it will make it up to subscribers, but the details are thin and the process has been less than smooth so far.
Key Points: Anime streamers Funimation and Crunchyroll are set to finally merge on April 2. At that point, digital copies of certain physical media titles purchased by Funimation customers will be deleted.

“There will soon be nothing more than self-communicating zombies, whose lone umbilical relay will be their own feedback image – electronic avatars of dead shadows perpetually retelling their own story.” —Jean Baudrillard in Telemorphosis Around 1979 the American filmmaker Robert Kramer and the French schizo-analyst Félix Guattari started working together on a film about two Italian fugitives from the Italian Autonomia Movement, Latitante. The film, which was to star Pier Paolo Pasolini's regular actress Laura Betti, was meant to be a sort of first person collective reflection on the finitude and fragility of the body, “opposing the enormous weight of things-as-they-are, systematically defined by vast power.” A film about the intimacy of resistance. Somewhere along the way the film morphed into a significantly different creature, the science fiction flick A Love of Uiq, a formal shift (sub)consciously informed by the wider political changes taking place off screen: from the grand...

Goethe Institut's upcoming Wednesday night film series will begin this Wednesday, September 2nd. The screenings will precede the opening of the touring exhibition Brilliant Dilletantes - Subculture in Germany in the 1980s.
Take a look at the full schedule Here
There are some films in the line-up that are almost never screened, including the first four films in the series. The horror-mystery-sci fi feature "Decoder" is a long-established underground cult favorite with William Borroughs playing a role as “The old man."
The Short experimental program Berlin Super 80 highlights several underground filmmakers working in Berlin from 1978-1984.
Uli Edel (Director and writer of “The Baader-Meinhof Complex”) is scheduled to appear for a rare screening of his film "Christiane F." (in German With English Subtitles), and Rainer Kirberg’s "Die Letzte Rache” ("The Last Revenge”) is a truly intriguing “neo-expressionist” gem.
The program also includes a recent film titled "Punk!" ("Tod den Hippies!! Es lebe der Punk"), which opened in Germany earlier this year and aligns with the sensitivities of the rest of the showcase.
All screenings are free!
