Desc: Geschlossene Gesellschaft: Directed by Hans von Brockhausen, Maximilian Weishaupt. With Anja Karmanski. For a moment, time stands still on the dance floor. A disconnected sphere of individual happiness, the warm embrace of a collective state of intoxication - with the outbreak of Corona suddenly a threat, out of nowhere. "Geschlossene Gesellschaft" is a film about the Munich clubs P1, Harry Klein, Backstage and Milla in the pandemic. It is about the industry that was the first to close and the last to reopen. Yet it also illuminates the fates of the people who try to feed their families and find their social and cultural identification in an entertainment world that is often reduced to intoxication. The documentary starts one year after the shutdown. The nights have become silent and empty. Behind the club doors, however, life is bustling. Walls are being knocked down, television studios are being built, applications for funding are being submitted and flowers are being planted. The creative rebellion of an industry against financial and mental insolvency is the film-driving question. A subculture reinvents itself, also in order not to be forgotten. Above it all is the question of what the new "normal" will look like in the midst of uncertainty. As a cinematic document of time, the documentary captures the transformation of the nightlife up to the ecstatic resurrection of a cross-generational place of longing - authentic, surprising and visually not seldom surreal. "Geschlossene Gesellschaft" is the inspiring struggle for survival of a way of life that is incompatible with social distancing, contact restrictions and curfews.
