About event
Book presentation with Günter Rohrbach, Martin Wiebel and Thorsten Musial
The late 1960s and the 1970s were a heyday of the German television film. Socially critical topics were negotiated in an innovative and experimental way and regularly led to public debates. The television game department of Westdeutscher Rundfunk in Cologne had a significant part in this development. Their head Günter Rohrbach and the editors aggressively pursued the concept of clarifying the audience, confronting it with reality and thus getting involved in social discourse, including with Rosa von Praunheim's film "Not the homosexual is perverse, but the situation in which he lives" or the television films "smog" or "the million dollar game". The idea of the "crime scene" crime thriller series also came up in this editorial team. In 1978 Rohrbach implemented the purchase of the US series "Holocaust-The History of the Weiß" family against resistance. Many directors of the new German film combined the cinema with the WDR television game such as Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Edgar Reitz and others,
not only in the late 1970s the entertainment aspect of the films received more weight compared to the politicizing content. In these functions he also provided highlights such as "Das Boot", the infinite story "," Berlin-Alexanderplatz ", the Loriot films," Go, Trabi, Go "...
Torsten Musial (Academy of the Arts, Filmarchiv) and Martin Wiebel (long-standing dramaturge in the WDR television game and other areas, director of the film and TV academy, Berlin u.) In their current publication, take a look at this exciting time. The book was published in the publication series "Television - History - Aesthetics" (Edition Text+Critics) together by the Academy of the Arts and the German Kinemathek.
In conversation with Martin Wiebel and Torsten Musial, Günter Rohrbach, born in 1928!
