Construction workers' meeting on Sunday afternoon. Wolfgang says how, Carsten does it and Puppy watches.

“Can you describe yourself?” “Odenwald-Gay... or Gollum... or Klaus! 60 years old... gay... slave!” A documentary portrait of Klaus Johannes Wolf, who decided to live as a slave. Chained to his bed, he talks about his decision to be a slave, his parents and what it means to be naked. Finally he leaves everything behind to go to a slave camp, to put the finishing touches on his slave’s life and become the perfect servant.

The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, Gremlins 2 and Hammer Film’s The Mummy. Iconic actor Christopher Lee died in virtually every other role he played. Jan Soldat’s nerdy short film compilation lines up one death after another and, amid this involuntary stream, reveals entertaining gems and various connections as well – not only those relevant to the advance of Lee’s acting career.

Nicolas Cage dies all the way from Hollywood to Direct-To-DVD.

Udo Kier dies his way through film history. He screams, falls, lies, is cut into pieces, shot or commits suicide. Again and again his empty gaze, again and again his rigid body. In 54 years as an actor, Udo Kier played in more than 170 feature films, 120 series episodes and 50 short films. More than 70 times Udo Kier tried to give an expression to dying and death. In Staging Death, these representations of death merge into a montage of the most diverse shots, film formats, special effects and sound designs. "Directors are now thinking increasingly strained about what new ways they can kill me. […] At some point, somebody would have to make a montage of all my film deaths." Udo Kier (Interview Subway Magazine #145, December 1999)

Prolific documentarian Jan Soldat (For Fuck’s Sake, Christian, We’re Making a Porn Film) brings another very special, adults-only, sex-positive cinematic experience with this close-up character study of the eponymous Paul -an ordinary-seeming middle-aged man in his city-center apartment. This gentle, lovely fellow talks frankly about his life, work, and family in a simple, deep, and honest conversation. Empathetic humanism at its most direct.

Heiko, 51, a sheet metal former trained in GDR times, unemployed since the fall of the wall, pisses on his bed and on the carpet. The film encounters Heiko's dysfunctional family history and his decision to be alone forever. Piss and GDR, a reflection of how deep the consequences of the fall of the Wall are still in the bodies of some people to this day.

Christian and I are waiting in his apartment for men to be filmed having sex with him.

Life’s all about two things: firstly, being loved, and secondly not being alone. But what happens when people aren’t enough, or when they’re too much? Geliebt is not a film about the pros and cons of emotional and sexual relationships with animals but a film about the relationship between humans and animals, poised somewhere between love and dependence.

A newly retired man takes his celebration into his own hands. Literally.

This is Real German Education: two naked elderly men in elegant surroundings talk about their relationship and the good old days, and chat in a refreshingly candid manner about their fetishes, sadomasochistic predilections and bondage.

The Playroom

Felix alone in his apartment. Multiple lanes and syringes of Mephedron and a little G. The filmmaker is watching.
