A free-wheeling chronicle of the Munich sex film industry in the 1970s.

Itinerant projection-equipment repairman Bruno Winter and depressed hitchhiker Robert Lander - a doctor who has just been through a break-up with his wife and a half-hearted suicide attempt - travel along the Western side of the East-German border in a repair truck, visiting worn-out movie theaters, learning to communicate across their differences.

Documentary about filmmakers of the New German Cinema who were members of the legendary Filmverlag für Autoren (Film Publishing House for Authors). Among them are Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and Wim Wenders.

Fashion model Sylvie falls asleep drunk in the cab of Munich taxi driver Paul, and an impossible love affair beckons.

The early films of Wim Wenders are now regarded as landmarks of European film. Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move and Kings of the Road became foundations of the German New Wave and cemented the reputation of their director. In One Who Set Forth: Wim Wenders' Early Years Marcel Wehn explores the background to these films. Through personal recollection and rare home movie footage, it documents the director's early life, from experiments with his first camera, via his deviation from a career in medicine in favour of art and film, through to international recognition for the Road Trilogy. Central to these were themes that became cornerstones of all his work: national identity, the importance of personal relationships and the allure of the road. With contributions from the director and the many collaborators who helped define his vision, One Who Set Forth is a compelling account of Wim Wenders' life and work.

Edgar Burgman, after collaborating to assassinate the elder senator husband of Alice Young, the wife remarried. The woman, after a short period, doubts of love Edgar and convinces more and more that, having married out of interest, now wants to eliminate the possession of his great assets.

What to do if you are stuck as a police officer in a boring small town, no decent crimes happen and you should actually make the big career at the instigation of your wife? In this lamentable situation is Heinrich Karpf. An unfine plan is supposed to bring about the change: where there is no spectacular case, one must be faked...

A German Film award winning short animated biography of accomplished 19th century organic chemist August Kekulé.

An animated film that is critical of society. After being kissed by a "celestial" muse, an inventor succeeds in building a machine that will clothe the naked of the world. But after a "devilish" inspiration, the inventor expands heedlessly into new markets, leading to ever-increasing growth of the machine until it finally enslaves its inventor, who has become a war profiteer.

Zagreb-born artist Vlado Kristl (1923-2004) was the most radical of the German auteur filmmakers. This is an anakofilm.

Heinz Badewitz makes a film about himself. In fragmented takes, he depicts himself as a pensive funster, indulges in free association, then tells a love story that could just as well be freely invented as true. Like all love stories, it ends unhappily. Briefly inserted clapperboards bear the title ‘Screwings’.
