Doris Dörrie - Die Flaneuse

Why does Doris Dörrie have a bag on her head in the interview? Consistent in the sense that in her works she always poses the question of how we want to be perceived. Dörrie takes us through the most important stages of her life, her films, her work as a mentor and teacher, and also addresses existential themes: Identity, motherhood, her role as a woman. And she talks openly about fears, setbacks and crises, such as the untimely death of her partner and cameraman Helge Weindler. "Shut up and breathe", the advice of a Tibetan lama, carries her through life - even beyond the screen.

Waldo

The morning of the 28th of March, 1977, the news broke out that the prestigious composer of "Ode to joy", Waldo de los Ríos, was found dead with two gunshots to the face. This documentary is a project trying to decipher all the secrets behind the public figure of the celebrated Argentinian musician, who lived in Spain since the 60s. During the investigation, we find a life of fame, luxury, passion, homophobia, dictatorship, esotericism, depression, solitud, an enigmatic suicide... and oblivion. We try to understand how one of the biggest composers of universal history transformed his own life into a requiem. From home-movies, photographs, personal letters, audio tapes and other inedit material, the documentary presents the most intimate and hidden portrait of this revolutionary musical genius.
