NIMM PLATZ - „NEUE MEDIEN“-COUCHGESPRÄCH ZU WALTER BOCKMAYER

In the organizer's words:

"NEW MEDIA" COUCH TALK ON WALTER BOCKMAYER

Walter "Wally" Bockmayer (1948-2014) was a Cologne institution. Together with his life partner Rolf Bührmann, he dedicated himself to the world of film and theater from the 1970s onwards. Wally and Rolf made around twenty films, twice winning the German Federal Film Award.

Whether Filmdose, Kaiserhof Theater or Scala - the workplaces of Bockmayer and Bührmann helped artists such as Veronica Ferres, Hella von Sinnen, Ralph Morgenstern and Dirk Bach to nationwide fame.

Talk guests:

• Berthold Bell, artist
• Jo Goertz, photographer
• Marcos Schlüter, actor

Moderator: Jürgen Künz

Following the talk, we will be showing the satirical film comedy with cult status Im Himmel ist die Hölle los.

NIMM PLATZ am Neumarkt is a joint project of Cologne's cultural administration and the independent cultural scene, with contributions from the University of Music and Dance (HfMT) and the Academy of Media Arts (KHM).
