The party

An evening with Martin “Gotti” Gottschild and his new film *Die Party*, featuring a handful of stories on the subject of cinema and film, as well as an exclusive 20-minute “making-of” feature, which offers illuminating insights into the work of a small, independent film crew. “Die Party” is a 50-minute comedy film, funded entirely through crowdfunding, shot over five Mondays in Stolzenhagen and one Friday in Prenzlauer Berg. “Die Party” is a sort of “La Boum with 50-year-olds”, a Dadaist chamber drama by the lake, somewhere between Claude Chabrol, Bertrand Blier, Jean Girault, Helge Schneider, Monty Python and a sharp-witted Ray Harryhausen. A tribute to those heart-warming, bonkers French films that brightened up our mercilessly short television weekends in the early 1980s.
