Berlin & Beyond - One Who Set Forth - Wim Wenders Tribute

Castro Theatre
San Francisco, CA

In this documentary, Wim Wenders speaks frankly
and very personally about his path from being
a doctors son, who was supposed to follow
in his fathers footsteps to becoming a filmmaker.
He wanted to become a priest but went to
medical school. His passion however was photography
and film. The viewer is taken on a journey
to Paris, where Wenders tried to make ends
meet as a painter. He recalls events of his life as
an aspiring director at the University of Television
and Film in Munich, which include success
as well as failure. The film paints the picture of
a young students ready-to-go attitude to life
in 1968s Munich.
Some of Wenders most important companions,
his wives as well as Peter Handke, Robby Mller,
Rdiger Vogler, and Bruno Ganz are interviewed
and for the first time speak openly about their
personal and professional experiences with him.
Recalling their memories, they also talk about
recurring key themes in Wenders films--loneliness,
friendship, the difficulty to communicate,
and the search for identity.
