Cologne based Bernhard Marsch depicts a history of Germany from the margins: a trash-history, a Ramsch-history; “Ramsch”; his production company; translates junk or trash. Mix of nostalgia and a spirit of optimism or departure characterizes his films. He is part of a film collective similar to Star and Shadow Cinema in Cologne and is probably the only man who has sold a porn musical to the French with 10000 D-marks. Evening not to be missed! Followed by Q&A.
