Dominik Wessely

Annual awarding of the Grimme Awards.

Charlie Chaplin is still one of the most famous figures in film history, both in front of and behind the camera. However, one aspect of Chaplin's artistic work is little known: his work as a film composer. Dominik Wessely shows this side of the brilliant all-round talent in original visual and audio documents.

Portrays the film star Mario Adorf and his passion for acting, the stage, the cinema, singing and writing. Together with the director Dominik Wessely, the film comes closer to Mario Adorf as a person and highlights important stations of his private life and his international career. When Mario Adorf begins to talk about his life, over 60 years of theatre and film history come to life. A dialogue with him is not only a retrospective, but also an intensive exchange of ideas about film and theatre and his view of the world, love and ageing.

The incredible story of Bruno Lüdke (1908-44), the alleged worst mass murderer in German criminal history; or actually, a story of forged files and fake news that takes place during the darkest years of the Third Reich, when the principles of criminal justice, subjected to the yoke of a totalitarian system that is beginning to collapse, mean absolutely nothing.

24-hour television documentary about Berlin and its inhabitants, reporting in real time on the everyday lives of more than 50 protagonists from a wide range of professions, social classes, religions and ethnicities.

About a group of door-to-door salesman who try to sell vacuum cleaners from "Vorwerk", a German manufacturer.

The ‘OstWest TV’ team broadcasts from exile in Berlin for a Russian-speaking audience. It is one of the last independent voices in Russian; its programmes and reports analyse Kremlin propaganda. More than 1,000 kilometres away, the journalists of the Ukrainian investigative editorial team ‘Schemesa’ of ‘Radio Free Europe’ have been reporting on the war in their homeland for almost three years - a war they are experiencing themselves day by day. The film team accompanies reporters from both newsrooms between rocket fire and the Munich Security Conference, while researching war crimes, the death of Alexei Navalny and analysing war propaganda. ‘With facts against Putin's propaganda’ shows how important fact-based journalism is.
