Known For

West Berlin, December 1971: Several hundred trainees, students, young workers and young people who had run away from institutions occupied the Georg-von-Rauch-Haus, a building of the empty Bethanien Hospital in Kreuzberg. They want to shape their living and leisure situation themselves. The film was made by a film collective together with the young people and shows what has happened in the Georg-von-Rauch-Haus since the occupation.
Allein machen sie dich ein
Twenty-five years after the death of Holger Meins, filmmaker and former student friend of the deceased, Gerd Conradt takes an in-depth look at the helmsman of the Baader-Meinhof gang. Who was Holger Meins? What led him into the underground? What circumstances resulted in his death, a death which made him the declared symbol of the radical opposition in Germany? What remains of his legacy?
Starbuck Holger Meins

A portrait of a family in Berlin in the late 1970s, this film focuses on the mother.
Is This Fate?
The film plays, partly autobiographically, with the documentary in order to unmask "typically" female or male life paths and idealisations, and thus gets to the heart of male fantasies of greatness with wit.
Detours
The documentary provides a comprehensive exploration of the topic of nuclear energy.
