- Talking Money is an observational documentary shot at bank consultation tables all over the world. From Bolivia to Pakistan, Benin to Switzerland, men and women sit down across from their neighborhood bankers to discuss the intimacies of their financial lives. Far from the glamour of distant Wall Street, this is the reality of personal banking, where one's life problems are a matter of business. In 15 spontaneously recorded encounters, the bank table turns into a stage for confessions and masquerades, where consultants and clients try their best to look solid and trustworthy. Filming entirely from the bank's side of the table, Sebastian Winkels offers the audience a place in a bizarre power play, exploring a complicated inter-relationship called 'money'. A multi-voiced commentary on capitalism that reveals how the invisible power of money works on all of us, no matter who and where we are.
- In a society increasingly facing new ways of thinking and excludes aesthetic transgressions, says Frank Castorf, the theater is the last partisan. As a director and director Castorf has been the Berliner Volksbühne since the beginning of the 1990s to such a place of departure and the avant-garde.
- It started in 1989 in the underground subculture of Berlin with an idea shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall and was to become an event that influenced a whole generation and represented their attitude towards life. Under the motto "Peace, Joy, Pancakes" the club DJ Dr. Motte, together with friends and companions, held the first Love Parade as a political demonstration on which colorfully dressed people danced to techno and house music. The strange procession with only 150 people developed in the following years to the largest party event on the planet with visitors from all over the world. In 1999, 1.5 million people took part. With the help of interviews with important organizers and contemporary witnesses, the documentation reflects the history of the Love Parade, but also illuminates the dark side of how commerce and money business increasingly destroyed the real spirit, long before the emigration to other cities and the Love Parade disaster of Duisburg in 2010, which caused an era to end in deep grief.
