Synopsis

DIE SPULE_ is a mockumentary short film about a collective of women who came together in the early 1980s in the GDR to explore alternative, creative forms of expression in theater, fashion, and music outside the confines of the socialist regime. The film follows the group through their years in the GDR, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the post-reunification era—a life spent between performance, theater, friendship, and punk rock. The focus is on the women’s unbroken creative energy, their resistance to restrictions, and their ability to make the best of things even under adverse circumstances. The narrative is based on the memories of actual eyewitnesses.

music

Im Rahmen der Produktion und Recherche des Films entstanden mehrere synthetische Musikstücke die zunächst als Musikbett angedacht waren. Aus dieser Dynamik entstand ein gesamtes Punkrock Album der Band "Die Brigade" - die im Film portraitiert wird. Unter der Kantine ist als digitale Veröffentlichung bei Hello Records erhältlich.
