    Few studios have hosted as many excellent musicians as Hansa, Berlin. No other studio offers such a unique environment as this isolated building standing in the middle of the Potsdam Square, abandoned at the time, in West Berlin, only a few metres from the wall.

    The wall was portrayed in this very studio in the song Heroes by David Bowie, while, also at this location, his flatmate Iggy Pop discovered his Lust for Life and found the inspiration for The Passenger while using the U-Bahn and S-Bahn. U2’s album Achtung Baby was also recorded here. Hansa has been the birthplace of many other milestone albums by bands like Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Siouxsie and the Banshees, R.E.M., Supergrass and many others. The documentary shows how the studio—formerly known as a factory of German schlager music—turned into a place that defined a whole generation of global musicians.

    The film features Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Tony Fox Sales (the bassist of Iggy Pop and David Bowie), Gaz Coombes & Danny Goffey (Supergrass), Klaus Kruger & Johannes Schmöelling (Tangerine Dream), Mick Harvey, Thomas Wydler & Barry Adamson (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Fish & Steve Rothery (Marillion), Colin Newman & Graham Lewis (Wire) and others.

    Sex, Love and Dreams—not necessarily in that order—are the chapters in a loosely connected trilogy set in contemporary Oslo. In Sex, an intimate conversation between two men sparks a witty and refreshingly honest reflection on sexuality and gender roles in our society.

    With disarming wit, the Dalai Lama reflects on balancing millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions with the contemporary values of our globalised society that now struggles to overcome violence and war while standing on the brink of environmental collapse.

    The Hamburg-based director of Palestinian-Syrian descent places the second instalment of his Homeland trilogy on a small, flood-prone island in the Wadden Sea. This melancholic, mood-driven film about exile and the scars it leaves behind features a charismatic performance by the legendary Hanna Schygulla.
