Synopsis

After the last film played at the legendary Arsenal arthouse cinema in Tübingen, director Goggo Gensch accompanies founder Stefan Paul – filmmaker, distributor, and tireless cineast – on a journey to the screens that shaped Germany’s arthouse cinema movement. Paul and companions tell of the beginnings of arthouse cinemas in the 1970s and their daily struggle for survival. Icons like John Waters and Wim Wenders contribute personal memories, while the Hof International Film Festival celebrates underground films.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
