Klaus Wildenhahn

A documentary about the 'critical mass', the Film Coop, a group of young filmmakers in Hamburg during the 1960s - a small group far from the Mainstream or the New German Cinema.

Klaus Wildenhahn, a native of Bonn, takes a personal and slightly wistful look behind the scenes of the government's move from Bonn to Berlin and bids farewell to the comparatively modest “federal village.” He is not interested in the political celebrities, who, unlike in the television reports produced at the same time, serve only as background noise, but in the everyday lives of the small employees, parliamentary servants, chauffeurs, and waiters.

Documentary by Jan Sebening and Daniel Sponsel.

The film develops 5 questions about documentary film against the background of the media-political situation of the early 1970s in West Germany. The following topics are developed: (1) the personal approach of filmmaker Klaus Wildenhahn to his profession; (2) the technical and technical approach of cameraman Rudolf Körösi; (3) the development of documentary film based on John Grierson's British School of Documentary Film; (4) the working conditions and political framework for the production of documentary films at WDR and NDR; (5) the constitutive characteristics of socially relevant documentary film.
