Der Weisse mit dem Schwarzbrot WHITE MAN WITH BLACK BREAD Christof Wackernagel, best known in Germany as an actor and former member of the Red Army Faction (“RAF”) lives in Mali. In his compelling portrait, Jonas Grosch shows a man who simply cannot stand still if he senses injustice. The courage to stand up for one’s beliefs coupled with vanity? However one chooses to look at it, it is easy to imagine what made him connect with the “RAF”. With his irrepressible will for freedom, Christof Wackernagel gets entangled in the horrors of day-to-day life in Africa. “The only film about the RAF in which a human being really comes over for me. A human being who can’t even understand himself, doesn’t take himself too seriously and who has a lot of other Utopias up his sleeve. Someone who ‘hands-on’ carves out his life like an open-access piece of work. It’s a film you just have to have seen if you want to understand exactly why there always were anarchists – and why there always will be.” (Volker Schloendorff) World Sales (please contact) MMM Filmproduktion Zimmermann & Co.

Wolke 9 CLOUD 9 She didn’t ask for it. It just happened. There were stealing glances, attraction. But this was never supposed to happen. Inge is in her mid-60s. She has been married for 30 years and loves her husband. But Inge is drawn to this older man Karl, already 76. It’s passion. It’s sex. And she suddenly feels like a young girl again … Genre Drama Category Feature Film Cinema Year of Production 2008 Director Andreas Dresen Story Development Andreas Dresen, Cooky Ziesche, Laila Stieler, Joerg Hauschild Director of Photography Michael Hammon Editor Joerg Hauschild Production Design Susanne Hopf Costume Design Sabine Greunig Producer Peter Rommel Production Company Rommel Film/Berlin, in co-production with RBB/Potsdam-Babelsberg, in cooperation with ARTE/Strasbourg Principal Cast Ursula Werner, Horst Rehberg, Horst Westphal, Steffi Kuehnert Length 98 min Format HDV FAZ 35 mm, color, 1:1:85 Original Version German Subtitled Versions English, French Festival Screenings Cannes 2008 (Un Certain Regard) With backing from Medienboard Berlin- Brandenburg, BKM, German Federal Film Fund (DFFF), Filmkunstpreis 2006 Festival des Deutschen Films German Distributor Senator Film Verleih/Berlin World Sales The Match Factory GmbH · Michael Weber Balthasarstrasse 79-81 · 50670 Cologne/Germany phone +49-2 21-5 39 70 90 · fax +49-2 21-5 39 70 910 email: info@matchfactory.de · www.the-match-factory.com Andreas Dresen was born in 1963 and started shooting amateur films in 1979.
