Der Platzanweiser: Porträt eines Kinomanen

This mockumentary by Peter Gehrig deals with the search for a German cineast, Werner Loth, who simply vanished in the late Seventies while in pre-production for his 4th film. Successful ‘new German wave’ directors of the time such as Herbert Achternbusch, Peter Lilienthal and Hans-Jürgen Syberberg reminisce about him. In this ‘portrait of a cinemaniac’, legendary German film historian Joe Hembus recounts more about his own life than that of the mysterious disappearance of Loth, who, it is rumored, ended up as an usher in a movie theater in Paris.

Please note: This film (75 Min.) will be screened during the event Homage To Joe Hembus.
