Abstract
The German director Hans-Jürgen Syberberg does not intend his seven-hour film cycle, Hitler, A Film From Germany (1977), to be shown in what he calls the “cinema around the corner.” Rather, he chooses to travel personally with his film to cultural houses around the world, where the film, which was voted the Best Film of 1977 by the British Film Institute, has amassed a small, elite, but decidedly dedicated following.
