Hauptrolle Berlin: Horst Buchholz...Mein Papa

WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR GUEST: CHRISTOPHER BUCHHOLZ

Every 1st Tuesday of the month, always with prominent guests from the world of film and always moderated by Dr. Peter Zander, the film critic of the Berliner Morgenpost. Look forward with us to the actor, director and screenwriter Christopher Buchholz. Not only as an artist, but also as the son of Horst Buchholz, he will provide some personal insights into the making, as well as the shooting of his film. You can expect an entertaining and exciting pre-talk about a very personal, extraordinary and multiple award-winning documentary.

Biographical film about the actor Horst Buchholz, who died in March 2003, who reviewed his life in front of the camera of his son Christopher.

"My father was someone who didn't like to talk about himself. He also never wrote his memoirs - most stars have already published several at his age. So I decided to interview him to get him to talk, to get him to tell his story."

And so, from 2001 until his death in March 2004, several hours of conversations were created in which he opened up like never before. They are at the center of this documentary.

This film is a tragicomic journey into my father's world, taking me to people and places that were important and precious to my father."
(Christopher Buchholz)
