On November 25, Rosa von Praunheim turns 70! We are celebrating his birthday with a brunch in the dffb canteen on the 9th floor of the Filmhaus at 12pm (Price 10 €, please register at 030-269 55 100) and a lengthy day of films taking in six features and many different guests. Rosa von Praunheim was born in Riga in 1942, grew up in Berlin and the Frankfurt district of Praunheim and has to this day shot more than 70 films. He is a passionate filmmaker whose films are characterized by an irrepressible lust for excess, transgression, sensuality and the opulence of life. He remains unconcerned with aesthetic convention or so-called "good" taste, is loud and shrill, but always shows a totally serious interest in the people in his portraits.
