41981, Quiberon, a small village on the coast of Brittany, France. Hilde Fritsch arrives to visit her old friend who has retreated to a spa hotel to escape the daily pressures of her life. Her friend is world-famous star Romy Schneider, but to- gether they appear like two regular women, who are just happy to be reunited. Yet it quickly becomes apparent that Hilde is sup- posed to offer the support the sensitive actress needs to be able to truly face her own demons. Shortly after, the young journalist Michael Jürgs and Romy’s long-time ac- quaintance, photographer Robert Lebeck, arrive to conduct an interview for the famous German magazine STERN. Immediately, a cat-and-mouse game ensues between the fragile diva and the ambitious author. Hilde attempts to guard her friend, while the jour- nalists try to capture the most inner feelings of this fascinating woman for their audience. For three days and nights the action between tenderness and mutual manipulation keeps the four people deeply engaged in ups and downs of emotions, and reveals Romy Schneider to be more vulnerable than ever. And yet, by the end of those days, she may have found the inner strength to be able to start over, something she desperately wants… EMILY ATEF was born in Berlin to French and Iranian parents.

The coffee machine becomes their regular meeting point and the two start to get to know each other.

6What is the nature of time? For the teenage twins Robert and Elena, a weekend can seem endless yet still fly by. Time almost stands still while discussing philos – ophy, lying in a blissful cornfield near a remote gas station. They are in their own little world, a twin world of twin games and twin love. A c onfined world where emotions rise, where pressure mounts into rage… The turmoil of adolescence. Nature, time, love,death. “What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.” Saint Augustine PHILIP GRÖNING was born in 1959 in Düssel- dorf.

8Kurt and Theo are classmates and best friends. In 1956 they are about to finish school in Stalinstadt, in the GDR. On one of their secret excursions to West Berlin to go to the movies, they see disturbing pictures of an uprising in Hungary in the newsreel Wochenschau. The students are impressed by the young Hungarians, who fight for their freedom and they decide to show their solidarity. In class, they hold a minute’s silence in honor of the victims. Little do they know how much trouble their seemingly harmless act of solidarity will mean for their future… LARS KRAUME was born 1973.

10In 1962, Edgar Reitz (HEIMAT) co-signed the Oberhausen manifesto that set the New German Cinema in motion. In 1968, Ula Stöckl emerged as Germany’s first feminist filmmaker. A year later, Stöckl and Reitz joined forces to create STORIES OF THE DUMPSTER KID, a series of 22 hilarious, ir – reverent short films that have been talked about – but rarely seen – for nearly 50 years. This is a documentary on the background and rediscovery of the DUMPSTER KID series, but also much more: Reitz and Stöckl are joined on-camera by Werner Herzog, Alexander Kluge and others to reflect on nothing less than the future of cinema. ROBERT FISCHER was born 1954 in Greven. He started writing about film in the mid- 1970s and soon became one of Germany’sforemost film historians. For his translations of Truffaut’s complete writings into German, he was named Chevalier des Arts et Lettres bythe French Cultural Minister Jack Lang. To- gether with Joe Hembus he wrote a history of the New German Cinema. After five years as Vice Director at the Munich Film Museum, where he was involved in the reconstruction of Orson Welles’ unfinished films, he switched to filmmaking in 1999. A selection of his films includes: STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF MOVING PICTURES (short, 1978), MONSIEUR TRUFFAUT MEETS MR. HITCHCOCK (1999), NEVER STOP BEGINNING – UFA STAR CAROLA HOEHN (2000), FILM IS TRUTH: MILOS FORMAN (2000), FASSBINDER IN HOLLYWOOD (2002), DALTON TRUMBO: REBEL IN HOLLYWOOD (2006), ERNST LUBITSCH IN BERLIN (2006), WORKING WITH MAX OPHULS: LOLA MONTES REVISITED (2007), STARTING OUT: THE MAKING OF JERZY SKOLIMOWSKI’S DEEP END (2011), OUTLAW BROTHERS: THE MAKING OF THE LONG RIDERS (2013), SWAN SONG: THE STORY OF BILLY WILDER’S FEDORA (2014), RETURN OF BEETHOVEN STREET: SAM FULLER IN GERMANY (2015), SUCKERPUNCH BLUES: A LOOK BACK ON JOHN HUSTON’S FAT CITY (2017), and FILM BE YOND CINEMA: THE DUMPSTER KID EXPERIMENT AND OTHER UTOPIAS (2018).

11THE DUMPSTER KID is an artistic creation: in every story, society forces her to learn something. But she, fully grown from the moment of her birth, unquestionably learns more than is called for. This extra knowledge, which is not wanted by society, regularly brings her into danger. Dumpster Kid dies in each story and across each genre. Her stories are set in a whole range of different time periods. ULA STÖCKL was born in 1938 in Ulm. Afterstudying Languages in Paris and London, she studied at the Institute for Film of the Academy of Design Ulm. Her film THE CAT HAS NINE LIVES (1968) is considered to be the first feminist film in the Federal Republic of Germany, followed by such classic women’s films like ERIKA’S PASSIONS (1976) and DER SCHLAF DER VERNUNFT (1984).A selection of her other highly-acclaimed films includes: THE GOLDEN THING (1971), EIN GANZ PERFEKTES EHEPAAR (1974), A WOMAN WITH RESPONSIBILITIES (1978), DAS ALTE LIED (1992), DIE WILDE BÜHNE (1993), and DIE WIDERSTÄNDIGEN “ALSO MACHEN WIR WEITER” (2015). EDGAR REITZ was born in 1932 in Morbachand studied Theater and Art History. He was a member of the Oberhausen Group in 1962 and, together with filmmaker Alexander Kluge, co-founder of the Institute for Film in 1963 at the Ulm Academy of Design. A selec- tion of his numerous and highly-acclaimed films includes: MAHLZEITEN (1966), DIEREISE NACH WIEN (1973), DIE STUNDE NULL (1976), DER SCHNEIDER VON ULM (1978), HEIMAT (1982-1984), DIE ZWEITE HEIMAT (1985-1992), DIE NACHT DER REGISSEURE (1994), HEIMAT 3 (2004), HEIMAT –FRAG- MENTE (2006), and DIE ANDERE HEIMAT (2013), among others.
