Marcus Vetter über "Die Siedler Francos"

Marcus Vetter, der renommierte Dokumentarfilmer (Hunger, Das Herz von Jenin, Der Tunnel, Mein Vater, der Türke u.v.m), hat sich "Die Siedler Francos" angeschaut:

"Die Siedler Francos" ist ein klassischer Dokumentarfilm, der ein Thema behandelt, dass man so nicht kennt. Ein sehr gut recherchierter Geschichtsfilm mit tollem Archivmaterial. Er ist ästhetisch schön, klar und ohne Schnörkel gefilmt. Auch die Protagonisten sind sehr gut gewählt. Es ist einfach eine hervorragend erzählte Geschichte.

Christian Cloos (commissioning editor for ZDF) about the film 'Donna Summer: Hot Stuff'

  Christian Cloos (commissioning editor for ZDF) writes: I really liked the film. Donna as a phone ghost, out of necessity, worked well, almost like it was an intentional way of raising questions of identity. Her death must have been a horror for you. The film offers great archive material and good interviewees (the sister was fantastic, as were all the others). It is very carefully researched, tightly narrated, intelligent and neatly edited – it’s a joy. It’s a continually surprising journey, both in its content and form, through the seventies and eighties. The use of the photos is brilliant. They become like exhibits about pop history, and when you introduce other material, we accept the poor technical quality as texture. It’s great how respectful you were, for example in how you introduced all the musicians involved in the single cover. It would be great if this were the start of an ongoing collaboration between you and Arte on more films about music and culture and you could ma...

Natalie Gravenor (Soundwatch Film Festival) and Dietmar Post (Filmmaker) photo © Peter Zach ENGLISH Elfi Mikesch (photographer, filmmaker and camerawoman) attended the Berlin premiere of ‘Mona Mur in Conversation’ at Soundwatch Film Festival on 30.11.2024 in the Galilee church. After the film showing and live performance, she wrote the following review: The film ‘Mona Mur in Conversation‘ shows Mona Mur as an impressive musician and artist with a thoughtful, humorous character. It reveals how the path of steadfastness is not easy. The concept for the film is perfectly realised. A green chair against a red background and a screen. Pure simplicity, no distractions, and it’s mesmerizing: Mona Mur and her story. Her life and work. The highs and the lows. The beauty. Music runs through her in every fibre, breath, rhythm, and in her voice. Her body and movements. Accented by her smile and sensuality. She’s magnetic. The live concert in the Galilee church was wonderful. A pianist at the gra...
