Mondmann MOONMAN Once upon a time there lived a man up in the silvery moon. He was so lonely that he hadn’t laughed for a hundred years. His greatest wish was to visit us humans, just once in his life. One night his dream was fulfilled and he managed to voyage down to earth on a buzzling comet. But nobody understood the poor creature. Nobody – except one … A dreamlike adventure into the imagination of a child, based on Tomi Ungerer’s classic picture-book The Moonman.

Monks – The Transatlantic Feedback Everybody knows Elvis Presley served Uncle Sam in West Germany, but have you ever heard of the five American G.I.s who stayed on after their military discharge and form ed one of the wildest and most influential rock bands of the 60s? Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage the first avant-garde band, The Monks. Combining rare archival footage of the band’s amazing performances on live TV with contemporary interviews with band members, eye witnesses and music com - mentators, this documentary traces the evolution of a combo determined to expand the frontiers of popular music. What emerges is a vital and illuminating picture of German-American cross-cultural experience, and a tribute to genuine rock and roll pioneers. “A loving and penetrating documentary film.” (Hollywood Reporter) “An overdue history lesson.” (Rolling Stone) “The filmmakers do a vivid job etching the creatively fervid times, with an editing style whose dynamism echoes that of Monk music.” (Variety) “Like Fechner’s film about the Comedian Harmonists, this documentary combines beautifully the private with the political.
