The Beethoven File (WT) (TV-Serie)
A film by Hedwig Schmutte and Ralf Pleger Starring Lars Eidinger and Pheline Roggan
Ludwig van Beethoven’s work is legendary – and already was while he was still alive. He is famous around the world, and yet little is known about the conditions under which his music was composed. One thing is certain: he composed most of his masterpieces AFTER the onset of his deafness. When he composed his famous 9th symphony, he wasn’t able to hear a thing! A deaf composer? How is that possible? 200 years after Beethoven’s death, “The Beethoven File” casts light of one of the biggest mysteries of music history.
Modern Ruins – Fordlândia
A 5-part documentary series
4. Fordlândia – Henry Ford's Jungle Utopia Fordlândia, the American dream visualized in a town, is now located as a modern ruin in the Brazilian jungle and tells about the limits of globalization, long before this word was even invented. In 1928 the king of car building, Henry Ford, not only wanted to secure the natural rubber production for his cars with his model settlement in the Amazonas. He also had the plan to transfer the American way of living into the primeval forest as a civilazationary experiment. But as keen as his vision was and as determined as Ford pumped money into the project for 20 years, as merciless and relentless his dreams failed. Human and nature fought back – today Fordlandia is a spectacular, almost completely deserted and decaying town in the jungle, a modern ruin telling about the failure of the American dream.
Modern Ruins – Lohberg
A 5-part documentary series
3. Lohberg - The Revival of a Coal Mine A place bigger than life: Zeche Lohberg. For 100 years up to 5000 workers were mining coal here, in shafts as deep as 1200 metres. But when the mine was shut down in 2005, the huge industrial space lost its purpose and was abandoned. Ever since then the site has been waiting for a new destiny.
Modern Ruins – Piramida
A 5-part documentary series
2. Piramida – A Soviet Beachhead on Spitsbergen Pyramiden, the former Soviet coal town in Svalbard with the most northern Lenin-monument of the world, was for almost 80 years the communist advance guard in the capitalist abroad. Ceded by Norway in 1920, confirmed in a special agreement, about 1.000 workers mined coal in the short summers and long winters in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. They were compensated by relatively luxurious living conditions. With the collapse of Communism, the end of Pyramiden began. Nowadays the town is a stony monument for the decline of the Soviet Union and is rediscovered by tourists, exploited by junk dealers and resettled by polar bears, arctic foxes and sea gulls.
