DOCUMENTARY FILM
COME WITH ME TO THE CINEMA - THE GREGORS.
A life without cinema is possible, but pointless. True to this motto, Erika and Ulrich Gregor have been traveling the world since 1957, finding unusual films and bringing them to Berlin. In an associative montage, film history, West German and contemporary Berlin history are combined with the present life of the Gregors and statements of many of their companions. Filmmakers such as Helke Sander, Jutta Brückner, Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch, Rosa von Praunheim, Doris Dörrie, Michael Verhoeven, Edgar Reitz, Alexander Kluge, Gerd Conradt and Volker Schlöndorff talk about the influence the Gregors had on them personally, painting a vivid picture of film culture, from the 1960s and 1970s through New German Cinema to international Independent classics. Footage and film clips from 40 films such as The Chelsea Girls by Andy Warhol, The Match Factory Girl by Aki Kaurismäki, Shoah by Claude Lanzmann, Red Sun by Rudolf Thome or Hungerjahre by Jutta Brückner form a broad framework, at the center of which are Erika and Ulrich Gregor. They take us on a journey through 70 years of cinema history, gaining insights into the everyday life of this important film couple, who have been married for more than 60 years and who still work together every day – true to Bertolt Brecht's motto: „Who lives, say not, never“.

WHO OWNS NATURE?
Who does nature belong to? The animals? Mankind? Or simply just itself? The question is more complex than it might seem at first. The film examines this question, and while searching for an answer reaches the basics of our society – and, in the end, discovers deeper truths about our roots as hunters and gatherers.
We accompany hunters, forest rangers, gamekeepers and other forest workers into a fascinating microcosmos right in the heart of our western civilization. In the Bavarian Alps, we enter a world which doesn’t seem to fit in with our times. Chamois, roaring stags, wolves – in addition to mankind, they are all part of nature and share their natural habitat with us. Who determines how we coexist? Who decides how many of them may be hunted? Do they even need to be hunted? What would happen if the 1.2 million deer and 600.000 wild boar which are shot each year in Germany were allowed to propagate freely in the forests?
