Remixes, mashups and collages are art forms which have become a mass phenomenon through the internet. These forms of art have been discredited and marginalized as “street art” just because they do not fit into the conventional exploitation schemes. The legal boundaries for the resulting works are unclear at best or it is simply illegal. A survey at and beyond the grey area.

Meet David Wessel, aka Mashup Germany, who takes monotonous pop songs of the past to create completely new music pieces, enjoyed by thousands of excited fans. Meet media critic Stefan Niggemeier, whose blog and facebook page receive thousands of clicks a day. Meet internet artist Tobias Leingruber, developer of “Pirates of the Amazon”. Meet composer Johannes Kreidler, who by one simple act questioned the whole reasonableness of the German organization for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights GEMA. And meet producer and Berlin’s undersecretary of culture Tim Renner, attorney Till Kreutzer, journalist Dirk von Gehlen, online activist Markus Beckedahl, art professor and online artist Cornelia Sollfrank, label owner and musician Olaf Bender, collage artist Jan Kummer, economist Eckhardt Höffner, and co-founder of the Missionary Church of Kopimism Isak Gerson.

SILLY - Frei von Angst | Documentary: Sven Halvar | ARTHAUS MUSIK from Arthaus Musik GmbH on Vimeo.

Ausgezeichnet wurde dieser Kinodokumentarfilm mit dem Prädikat „Besonders wertvoll“. Regie: Sven Halvar Ganz nah dran, völlig ungeschminkt und ohne Sicherheitsabstand: SILLY - Frei von Angst porträtiert eine der großen deutschen Rockbands.

Aus insgesamt 200 Stunden Filmmaterial entstand ein zweistündiger Film, der die Geschichte der Kultband aufzeigt: die Anfänge in Ostdeutschland, der Tod von Tamara Danz und die daraus resultierende Krise sowie der Neuanfang mit Frontfrau Anna Loos. Silly war schon immer anders. Eigensinnig, einfallsreich, unverkennbar und vor allem eines - authentisch. So geben die Bandmitglieder in Interviews einen intimen und unverfälschten Einblick in ihren Alltag, vom Entstehen der Songs und der Konzertplanungen, über Diskussionen bis hin zum Lampenfieber vor dem Auftritt.

Überdies zeigt der Film grandiose Ausschnitte aus der "Wutfänger"-Tour.

--

Gilbert & George: The Fundamental | Gerald Fox | ARTHAUS MUSIK from Arthaus Musik GmbH on Vimeo.

This BAFTA, Royal Television Society Best Arts Film and FIFA Grand Prize award-winning film enters the world of Britain’s most eccentric, celebrated and controversial artistic double act in which life and art are inextricably linked. The film explores their history from their student days at St. Martin’s in the late sixties to their early success as living sculptures, their postal art and drinking works to their large scale pictures, following the unique creative process of their “Fundamental Pictures” depicting their own bodily fluids. We see their daily life at home in Fournier Street, around the East End where they perform unique performances for camera with specially painted faces, in Bologna for a full retrospective of their work and a relationship between two special artists who know how to combine their charm with extraordinary performance. The producer Gerald Fox presents a portrait of two individuals who revolutionized the art scene in a very special way.

Janine Jansen - Falling for Stradivari | Gerald Fox | ARTHAUS MUSIK from Arthaus Musik GmbH on Vimeo.

Directed by PRIX ITALIA winning documentary maker Gerry Fox, and accompanied in her quest by legendary Sir Antonio Pappano, the documentary will follow Janine fly- on-the wall from her home town of Stockholm to research in Stradivarius’ home town of Cremona, where she will meet world leading luthiers, to a hectic ten day period in London. She will become acquainted with each of the violins, select works that fit them best, learn about their histories and particular foibles and rehearse and record this astonishing album. It will be nerve-wracking, intense, and hugely exciting. Finally, at Christmas, we will follow Janine home to the chamber music festival she has established in Utrecht, where accompanied by Pappano, she will play the pieces for a public audience. This is the first time ever that so many of the greatest Strads have been gathered together in one place, and the camera will accompany Janine at every step. As a violinist with phenomenal bowing technique, she is uniquely qualified to bring out the character of each violin, rather than impose her character on the instruments. In a series of up close and personal interviews with both Janine and others, we will capture the diffi culties and joys of playing these phenomenally difficult but rewarding instruments.

HITLER'S COUNTERFEITERS | Documentary: Christian Giessen | ARTHAUS MUSIK from Arthaus Musik GmbH on Vimeo.

"Hitler's plan was to weaken the English economy by putting pound notes in large numbers. SS Sturmbannführer Bernhard Krüger was entrusted with carrying out this secret operation. He selected the most talented Jewish printers and typographers from among the inmates of the concentration camps. The counterfeiters produced around 140 million perfectly forged pound notes. At the end of the war, 137 members of the forgery detachment were liberated from the Ebensee concentration camp by the Americans. In order to cover their tracks after the surrender, the Nazis sank boxes of counterfeit money in Lake Toplitz."

REMEMBER LE MANS | Documentary: Christian Giesser | ARTHAUS MUSIK from Arthaus Musik GmbH on Vimeo.

"The 24 Hours of Le Mans began in 1923, and since then, apart from a few years during WWII, the event has been held annually in the 24th week of the year, and from year to year the long-distance event has become more and more magical Attention. Like his colleagues James Dean, Paul Newman and James Garner, Le Mans legend Steve McQueen was also a keen motor sportsman. In 1970 he finished second in a Porsche 908/02 at the Sebring 12-hour race, not least thanks to his team-mate Peter Revson and the failures of many competitors. However, his participation in the 1970 Le Mans 24-hour race on a Porsche 917 together with Jackie Stewart was refused. McQueen was allowed to have his participating Porsche 908 shoot authentic racing scenes for the film Le Mans he produced. 45 years later, Christian Giesser dedicates himself to this film, thanks to new interviews with former film participants and newly discovered archive recordings, he takes a look behind the scenes. What the viewer experiences during the is really unique and extremely amusing."

JOCHEN RINDT LEBT | Documentary: Christian Giesser, Eberhard Reuss | ARTHAUS MUSIK from Arthaus Musik GmbH on Vimeo.

“Jochen Rindt lebt” defines a documentary by Christian Giesser and the specialised Jochen Rindt historian Erich Walitsch about the first Austrian Formula 1 world champion ever. The film images an insight into an octane life in the red speed range: His childhood, school days, the first car, the first racing successes, the career in Formula 1 up to his tragic and mortal accident in Monza. Friends of Jochen Rindt talk about the dangers in motorsport back then, where fractions of a second and underdimensioned chassis parts decided between victory and defeat or life and death. In this documentary, previously unpublished and private footage of Rindt's family and his racing friends is extensively incorporated. For the first time, Rindt's half-brother and a cousin step in front of the camera and talk about their childhood together. Companions and friends like Dr. Helmut Marko, Jackie Stewart and Helmut Zwickel report on the racing driver and the Jochen Rindt phenomenon. Through years of meticulous search, private film material that had never been shown could be found and incorporated into the documentation. Much of it was discovered in attics, in cellars or other long-forgotten places with friends and companions of Jochen Rindt.
