BUD’S BEST<br />

by Friedemann Beyer and Irene Hoefer PORTRAIT | FILM | CULTURE | LITERATURE<br />

Although he was heavyset, Bud Spencer proved a heavy hitting<br />

protagonist in a slew of western comedies throughout the 70's<br />

and 80's. Today he's considered a veritable icon of European pop<br />

culture. His recently published auto-biography quickly claimed<br />

the top position of Spiegel's best-seller list. The over 80 year old<br />

Spencer reminisces about his multifararious life, yet his versatile<br />

and productive nature keeps him from even contemplating<br />

retirement.<br />

German title: BUD'S BEST – Die Welt des Bud Spencer<br />

The documentary film BUSCANDO LA PLATA tells the story of people in Santiago de Chile who<br />

possess nothing else but their imagination to earn their daily bread. Unemployed, retired people and<br />

single parents offer folk songs, satires and lollypops for sale on a public bus as if they were actors on<br />

a stage. They are considered the lowest class of society and are constantly on the run to avoid being<br />

arrested by the police. “I had to go to jail for seven days. Simply for selling chocolate!” says the thirtyyear-old<br />

Báez. “Seven days of hunger for my family.” No longer content with their status, the bus<br />

hawkers decide to fight for acceptance. Their fight stands for the growing demand for equal opportunity<br />

in Chile. The film BUSCANDO LA PLATA is a fast-paced journey through Santiago de Chile and<br />

a tribute to the men and women who survive only thanks to their wit and sense of humor.<br />

BURY MY HEART IN DRESDEN<br />

by Bettina Renner ETHNOLOGY | EXILE | HISTORY | INDIGENE PEOPLE | PORTRAIT<br />

A Catholic cemetery in Dresden. A grey and weathered gravestone protrudes from the snow. At its foot<br />

stands a small American flag. The inscription on the old stone reveals who was laid to rest here in<br />

1914: Edward Two Two, Sioux chief. Strange. How did one of the Sioux Indians, whose home is North<br />

America, end up in Dresden of all places? And why was he buried here?<br />

Bettina Renner pursues this question, rummaging in archives and travelling to South Dakota's Pine<br />

Ridge Reservation to visit Edward Two Two's old homeland and his descendants. Gradually she comes<br />

closer to the answer of why the Lakota Sioux Edward Two Two, who in real life was never a chief, was<br />

determined that his final resting place be in Dresden soil.<br />
