Wednesday means cinema. Today, we offer you our film selection of the week, to guide you best in the dark rooms.
1 – 5 September – Tim Fehlbaum
5 September takes us back to the event that changed the media world forever and continues to resonate at a time when information, live broadcasts, and control of the airwaves remain the subject of much debate. The film is set during the Munich Olympics of 1972 where the American television team is forced to abruptly interrupt the broadcast of the competitions to cover the live hostage-taking of Israeli athletes. An event followed by about one billion people worldwide at the time. At the heart of the story, the ambitious young producer Geoff wants to prove himself to Roone Arledge, his boss and legendary television director. Along with his German colleague and interpreter Marianne, and his mentor Marvin Bader, Geoff faces the dilemmas of continuous information and morality.
