Freiheit (2x3)
Air date: May 17, 1966
Available in Europe for the first time, FREIHEIT (the German word for freedom) was George Lucas’ senior film project while at the University of Southern California. The three-minute film depicts a student, played by classmate Randal Kleiser (who went on to direct GREASE) escaping across the border from East to West Germany. The short is a rare chance to see the early work from a director whose impact on modern filmmaking is nothing short of astounding - starting in 1971 with THX 1138, and continuing on through AMERICAN GRAFFITI, the INDIANA JONES trilogy and, of course, the STAR WARS series.
