Kein großes Ding (2013)
Mahmoud spent three years in prison. Now the petty criminal projectionist is finally free again. He would like to become an artist, but he lacks talent. Fortunately, he has his best buddy Hennig, who is there to help him, but doesn't really have a clue. But no matter what Henning does, Mahmoud ruins it again. Together, the buddies throw themselves into life in pursuit of fun and money. With his second "Berlin film", legendary director Klaus Lemke tells an unusual buddy story in his typical style: wild, experimental, restless - with young amateur actors and a lot of improvisation, this is an unvarnished picture of the German capital.

A Callgirl for Ghosts (2020)
The film is part of Lemkes never-ending Munich series, but this time it leads beyond Schwabing or Maxvorstadt, which makes it more entertaining than its predecessors. After a stop at the Bayrischer Hof, it moves into the Glockenbachviertel, over the Reichenbachbrücke to the Isar, further into the suburbs. These places are not alien to residents of Munich or tourists, but Lemke knows no tour guide romance. He has the usual group of main characters, two or three girls, a young man, and sends them off as if on a great expedition. They bring along the Lemkestyle, which doesn't fit in anywhere, but works like a contrast medium. Their fantasy figures make the reality around them more real.

Bad Boy Lemke (2020)
»I’d prefer to be the film myself than just the director«: with Klaus Lemke, the boundaries between life and screen are fluid. For more than 50 years he has made films on low budgets using amateur actors without a screenplay. His cinema is brutal and impulsive, every film a slap in the face for the staid productions of the mainstream. In Bad Boy Lemke, he brings unfinished projects to an end and reflects on his body of work – of course à la Lemke: radical, confusing and powerful.
