FREE TO ROCK features Presidents, diplomats, spies and rock stars from the West, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe who reveal how Rock & Roll music was a contributing factor in ending the Cold

Harts 5 - Geld ist nicht alles (2013)
Four Berliners in the fight against turbo capitalism. A hopeless battle - but in the end, there's nothing good unless you do it. Frank, Kurt, Josef and Hart - the four men in their forties have not exactly been spoiled by life. All that remains of their lofty goals (from acting star to university professor) is Hartz IV pragmatism. But when they learn that the Swabian investor Dr. Siebold wants to demolish their former kindergarten in Prenzlauer Berg and build luxury townhouses on the site, their fighting spirit awakens once again. They set to work with the courage of the desperate - and initially fail all along the line. None of their plans succeed - but in the end they all lead to a happy ending.

Era Of Dance (2017)
The film tells a story about the latest musical revolution in recent history – the early days of the rave scene and the golden age of techno culture. International political changes in the mid-80s and early 90s, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, in a short period of time allowed this cultural phenomenon to become a mass movement which was almost completely independent from the global corporations and which did not fight with the system but created its own system.
