To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, Anthology Film Archives joins forces with the Goethe-Institut New York for a brief series comprising films that depict Marx himself or that explore his legacy. Though Marx himself has, surprisingly, rarely been given the full biopic treatment (though Raoul Peck’s
The Young Karl Marx is a recent exception), numerous filmmakers and artists have paid tribute to him, or have grappled with his thought and its continuing relevancy. Focusing squarely on works that portray Marx himself or that make explicit reference to him, this series gathers together a varied group of films, including an East German children’s film that features Marx as a protagonist, several experimental non-fiction or essay films, and Ilan Ziv’s ambitious, six-part, five-hour-plus documentary series,
Capitalism.
