KOSMISCHE BROCKEN - Frank Zappa and the Germans

To mark the 85th birthday of Frank Zappa, this unusual music documentary is coming to the Schauburg in Dortmundon Wednesday, November 26 at 8:15 pm ! There will be an introduction before the screening and a Q&A afterwards.

KOSMISCHE BROCKEN tells the story of music lovers in West and East Germany who were infected by a stubborn passion at an early age. Through interviews with many Zappa musicians, music journalists, fans and festival-goers, the film attempts to explore what makes Zappa so fascinating as one of the most colorful and controversial figures in rock history and what could really connect him to his German fans.

"With 'Kosmische Brocken', Wulf not only creates a monument to one of the most influential and controversial musicians of the 20th century, he also creates an affectionate portrait of a subculture. ... This film is highly recommended to every music fan, [...] it celebrates the humanity that connects through music in an impressive way."(L. Eden, Neue Rundschau Augsburg)

"The film dispenses with pathos rhetoric and instead resorts to calm images, effervescent music and honest voices - an experience that not only informs, but also captivates. ...

For a discerning movie audience that doesn't see music history as nostalgic folklore, but as a burning contemporary issue ..."(Peter Loebner, Kino Minden)

with, among others: Ur-Mothers Jimmy Carl Black, Bunk Gardner and Don Preston, George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty, Robert Martin, Adrian Belew, Ali N. Askin, Ed Mann, Denny Walley, Jon Hiseman and many more.
