Known for Acting
Shortly after their formation in Easter 1982, the Düsseldorf punk band "Die Toten Hosen" lead the Stasi around by the nose: the musicians Campino, Andi, Breiti, Kuddel and Trini give a secret concert in a church, in the middle of what was then East Germany. In "Auswärtsspiel - Die Toten Hosen in Ost-Berlin" this unique event is now comprehensively told for the first time.
The German (punk)rock band DIE TOTEN HOSEN is a phenomenon of superlatives. In this music & concert documentary we accompany Germany’s legendary and most successful rock band with 19 millions records sold with unparalleled access on their biggest tour in band history – both in the limelight and backstage with „access all areas“.
Together with their old friends Gerhard Polt and the Well brothers, Die Toten Hosen went on tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in summer 2017. The motto of the concert tour: "In the eye of the eardrum". These rare evenings have cult status, with these free spirits celebrating their friendship on stage and presenting the audience with a wild mixture of quirky humor, rock'n'roll and Bavarian dialect anarchism between improvisation and madness.
Entartete Musik
Germany's most popular punk rock band "Die Toten Hosen" ("The dead pants") celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2012. In his film "Nichts als die Wahrheit - 30 Jahre Die Toten Hosen" ("Nothing but the truth - 30 years Die Toten Hosen"), established documentary filmmaker Eric Friedler succeeds at presenting an interior view of a band that evolved from an enfant terrible to a pop culture icon and whose work mirrors German history. Friedler takes the audience on a two-hour long roller coaster ride about success and failures.
