B-MOVIE is about music, art and chaos in the Wild West Berlin of the 1980s: the walled-in city which became the creative melting pot for the sub and pop culture, attracting ingenious dilettantes and world famous celebrities alike. Before the iron curtain would fall, artists and communards, squatters and hedonists of all kinds would enjoy Berlin’s unconventional lifestyle, starting with punk and ending with the Love Parade. It was about living for the moment — the here and now.
KLAUS MAECK, JÖRG A. HOPPE and HEIKO LANGE have all been working in the music and film industries for many years, as music publishers, managers, producers and filmmakers. B-MOVIE: LUST & SOUND IN WEST BERLIN (2015) is their first collaboration on a film project.
