Full Metal Village
Should you live in or near one of the few German cities that have a cinema that shows Full Metal Village, do watch it! We just returned from Hanover where the Kino am Raschplatz plays it. Terrific movie! (Trailer on youtube)
The documentary by Sung-Hyung Cho describes the small and rather rual German village Wacken, before and during the Heavy Metal Festival Wacken Open Air. It portrays some of its inhabitants and shows their life in a rural area and how they adopted to world's largest Heavy Metal Open Air happening on their acres each year. It's at the same time poetic and funny. More funny though ... (We were in tears from laughing by the end)
PS: Also noteworthy, attac have produced a promotional film that is shown during the advertisings in German cinemas and calls to join the G8 protests at Heiligendam. Wouldn't have expected that! Nice idea though.
