By Night Under the Stone Bridge
Rudolf II, king of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, is paranoid, spendthrift, and wayward. In sixteenth-century Prague, seat of Christendom, he rules over an empty treasury and a court of parasites and schemers. Meanwhile in the ghetto, the Great Rabbi, mystic and seer, guides his people in the uneasy cohabitation of Jew and Christian, while the fabulously wealthy financier Mordechai Meisl has a hand in transactions across Europe and is reputed to be sustaining the treasury. His beautiful wife, Esther, forms a link of a different sort between the castle and the ghetto: by night under the stone bridge, she and the emperor entwine in their dreams under the guise of a white rosemary bush and a red rose. Only by severing the two plants can the Great Rabbi break the spell of forbidden love and deliver the city from the wrath of God. Perutz brings Old Prague to life with a cast of characters ranging from alchemists to the angel Asael, and including the likes of Johannes Kepler and the outlaw prince Wallenstein.
The Age of Secrecy
The fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries were truly an Age of Secrecy in Europe, when arcane knowledge was widely believed to be positive knowledge which extended into all areas of daily life. So asserts Daniel Jütte in this engrossing, vivid, and award-winning work. He maintains that the widespread acceptance and even reverence for this “economy of secrets” in premodern Europe created a highly complex and sometimes perilous space for mutual contact between Jews and Christians. Surveying the interactions between the two religious groups in a wide array of secret sciences and practices, the author relates true stories of colorful “professors of secrets” and clandestine encounters. In the process Jütte examines how our current notion of secrecy is radically different in this era of WikiLeaks, Snowden, etc., as opposed to centuries earlier when the truest, most important knowledge was generally considered to be secret by definition.

Philipp Lang, Kammerdiener Kaiser Rudolphs II
MSU: Incomplete copy has some biiographical information about, Philipp Lang [von Langenfels], a former choir boy who grew up to be a politically influential valet of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. Lang was born into a Jewish family from the Tyrol then was baptized in his youth. Before coming into the service of the Emperor he had served as the valet of Archduke Ferdinand who ennobled him (giving him the name von Langenfels) and gave him a house. He was later imprisoned for fraud and embezzlement but was pardoned. As valet, he grew close to and held great influence over the emperor. His power was much resented so he had many enemies. He grew weatlhy from his position, gifts from the Emperor, and interest on money he loaned. Lang finally fell out of favor with the Emperor when he clashed with Archduke Matthias and Rudolf had him arrested. Lang was accused of extortion, fraud, fornication, pandering, socery and acts of poisoning. He was found innocent of the last two. He died in prison and his properties were confiscated.

S3D Now!
Der 3D-Film hat die Art, wie wir das Geschehen auf der Leinwand erleben, verändert. Einen Schritt weiter geht der stereoskopische Film, der nicht nur die Wahrnehmung der Zuschauer in neue Dimensionen führt, sondern auch die 3D-Filmproduktion revolutioniert. Die Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen „Konrad Wolf“ hat in einem interdisziplinären Filmprojekt Wirtschaft und Forschung zusammengebracht: Gemeinsam mit Profis der Filmbranche erarbeiteten Studenten und Absolventen Lösungsstrategien zu aktuellen technischen und ästhetischen Fragen der Stereoskopie und der s3D-Filmproduktion. Grundlage des Projekts bildete die wissenschaftliche Begleitung des s3D-Films „The Magician“, dessen Entstehung im Buch sowie durch eine s3D- und eine 2D-Produktion auf Blu-ray dokumentiert wurde.
