BROETZMANN – Thats When The World Is Mine in the Official Programm of 62nd Berlin Int Film Festival (Panorama)
End of 2010, after 14 years break, Caspar Broetzmann performs again in original lineup with his band "Caspar Broetzmann Massaker" at the legendary Berlin-club "Berghain". The director Uli M. Schueppel narrates around this concert the emotional (in-between) spaces, from which Caspar Brotzmann creates his powerful archaic soundscapes. Between noise and silence the film develops from within a sensitive portrait of a musician, who always consistently went his own way, without subordinating himself to the rules of the music business.

„ This film approaches very close. It shows old men, eyes, mouths in front of a black screen. It deals with the horror of a generation. (...)
The effect is stunning. It seems as if the montage is flaring up, as if it burns. (...)
All haunting is ending here.“

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Int. Berlin Film Festival (Berlinale) Uli M Schueppel (in cooperation with Bastian Schreitling/digital artist and Pictorion/DasWerk) has revised the Berlinale-Trailer/Opener.
From Feb 11 to Feb 21 2010 this version will open all films at the festival in all sections.
The Berlinale-Trailer (09) will be also screened at the 39th Int Film Festival Rotterdam (2010) in the programm "Signals - RE:Reloaded"/Trailer Park". Amongst others, there will be shown also festival-trailers by David Cronenberg, Manoel De Olivera, Ulrich Seidl, Roy Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin, or Bong Joon-Ho.
http://www.filmfestivalrotterdam.com/en/combinedprogrammes/trailer-park-festivals-produce-film/from Feb 19 till end of April 2010 the 1990 released documentary The Road, to God Knows Where will be regulary screened in Vienna/Austria at Top-Kino & Schikaneder.
"The Road, to God Knows Where" shows the North-America-tour 1989 of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
'The Road...' is classic cinema verite, a tremendously evocative documentary for anyone who's ever been involved either on the fringes or in the heart. (...) this hyper-grainy b&w film is a lovingly detached testament to the absurdity of the ritual.

In Memoriam NIKKI SUDDEN
In Memoriam to the musician Nikki Sudden (Swell Maps/ The Jacobites) Uli M Schueppel published the following text & video:
Its nearly two years ago, that Nikki Sudden died.
I never forget the intense private concert he gave to my team and me at a party in the office of the "planet alex"-shooting in 1999. He even has a little cameo-appearance in this film. Sitting drunk at a bar...
The last time I met him was January 20th, 2006 at KingKongClub. Standing next to me at the bar... This night I met a very special person for the first time. I felt Nikki behind me, like an angel ...
Nikki's Berlin-friends organized a night-walk in memoriam through Kreuzberg April 3rd. 2006. This little video is dedicated to the memory of Nikki Sudden:
