We are especially proud to cooperate with legendary Portobello Film Festival London for the first time this year.



From 2nd - 19th September 2010 more than 500 films by independent filmmakers, most of them British, will be screened in the Portobello area. What makes "the wild child of film festivals" quite unique is that all screenings and events are free entry!



Our showcase will be on 18th September from 6.30 pm at a wonderful new location, the PORTOBELLO POP UP CINEMA - right under the Westway - with some highlights from last year's UNERHÖRT! Music Film Festival.

This is the line-up of our special showcase which we will present personally:

UNERHÖRT! 2009 Award for Best Music Film
Westcoast Theory
Maxime Giffard, Felix Tissier / F, USA 2009 / 66 mins (OV)
Music Documentary, Global HipHop
With guest (producer or director)



How is the typical West Coast sound in HipHop achieved? This sounds like a dry analysis for technical specialists but is in reality easily comprehensible and surprisingly amusing. The young filmmakers from France insert adorable and affectionate animated clips. Among others Snoop Doggy Dog, DJ Muggs, DJ Babu, Battlecat and Rick Rock are interviewed but also the IT-engineer, who made sampling possible. This is obviously very entertaining infotainment.

UNERHÖRT! 2009 New Talents Award
Dirty Princess – mit brennenden Höschen gegen das Parfüm des Kapitals (Dirty Princess – with burning knickers against the capitalistic perfume)
Thomas Lauterbach / D 2008 / 70 mins (OV with English subtitles)
Music Documentary, Electropunk



“Dirty Princess” is an electro-punk trio from Madrid with two sexy front ladies and a way of life performed on stage that definitely is x-rated including sex bizarreness and anti-clerical gestures. Although you cannot escape the middle-class background easily…

Plus Q & A with director Birgit Herdlitschke, Berlin
Das letzte Biest am Himmel – Blixa Bargeld (The last Beast in the Sky – Blixa Bargeld)
Birgit Herdlitschke / D 2008 / 52 mins (OV with English subtitles)
Music documentary, Portrait



This film about Blixa Bargeld, front man of the legendary Berlin band “Einstürzende Neubauten” and one of the most enigmatic figures of German post-punk, gets close to his personality without ever being voyeuristic. The self-proclaimed dandy stays tough as usual despite the outspokenness, even when sitting with his mother on the parental couch. The portrait presents the locations of Bargeld’s creativity in West-Berlin and elsewhere. Prominent companions have their say, too.
