He is a living legend in Germany, but never became known to a wider audience in France: Winnetou actor Pierre Brice. Director Oliver Schwehm sensitively traces the career of the French actor, whose career only took off very hesitantly in the 1950s before he experienced a meteoric rise through the role of the noble Apache chief. Brice reflects on his role as "Winnetou" and visits the original locations in Croatia 40 years after the last filming was completed. Statements from colleagues and former companions (including Mario Adorf and Marie Versini) as well as numerous film clips round off this entertaining documentary.

The end of the Franco-Prussian war (1870-71) saw the birth of the panoramas of war, huge circular paintings depicting scenes of war, cruelty and desolation that were contemplated by thousands of spectators, a kind of inmersive static newsreels, a mass media prior to the era of mass media, a virtual reality on canvas.

"It was fashionable not to know how to play" summarizes François Rousseau aka Jo Ravioli in the Wroomble Experience. Making a career made no sense, the precariousness of living conditions was swept away by the tremendous enthusiasm that fed all the musiciens on the Nancy micro-scene. To document this period, Otomo de Manuel plunged into his own archives, nourished by 40 years of activism, as an artist and organizer.
