"flüstern & SCHREIEN" documents important parts of the East German rock music scene of the late 1980s. From well-established bands like Silly, to underground rock bands like Feeling B, this road movie features young people using music to express their take on life, opposition to their parents' generation, and opinions on the social and political climate in East Germany.
The documentary includes clips from concerts and interviews with fans and members of various bands, such as Feeling B's Christian Lorenz and Paul Landers, who are now members of Rammstein. Shot in 35mm, this film played to over one million viewers in sold-out theaters in East Germany.
Audiences were drawn not only to see their favorite bands on the screen, but they were also surprised that this film made it past the censors.
