-The first was a short video clip of Rainer Fassbinder, taken from room666. He answers Wim Wender's Question,   "What is the future of cinema?"

The realization question that is given at the moment in time when film being projected at the movie cinemas is no longer seen as special occasional experience.  People began to watch recorded tapes at home. Rental storefronts began to emerge.  It was  also, at the beginning of movie cable network channels.  People paid for this service, monthly instead. These film directors began to notice the cultural shift and were put forth to answer this question. 

-The second is a music video by Joseph Beuys called, Sonne statt Reagan 1982.
