Hollywood Under Chinese Influence
China has been actively interfering in the workings of the Hollywood industry for nearly two decades, so that movies are no longer made on subjects its totalitarian government does not like — free Tibet or Taiwanese independence — and prominent stars who oppose such tyranny are dispensed with: a behind-the-scenes look at how the dream machine has been totally compromised by the abusive power of a ruthless dictatorship.

Galaxy Urnäsch 3000 (2025)

Cows graze atop rolling hills, the Säntis cable car glides towards the mountain station, and behind it, 2.5 million light years away, the Andromeda Nebula shimmers. In Urnäsch, winter is drawing in: the local butcher cutting the last geraniums from their window boxes and the men’s choir is rehearsing. But when the streetlights go out, leaving only the stars twinkling above, the village youth gather and dreams of other worlds are discussed.

To mark the 60th birthday of the multi-talented comedian, singer and author Hape Kerkeling, the two documentary filmmakers André Schäfer and Eric Friedler have created a quiet, thoughtful and entertaining portrait of this often anarchic humorist. The film tells of his rapid rise as a teenager, his time and the blows of fate during the AIDS epidemic, the controversial forced outing, his confident exit from the show business and his new beginning. The film is a sensitive insight into the family history and a fast-paced journey through the career stages of a formative figure in German TV entertainment.
