- Originally produced by MVD Entertainment Group in 2015.Russian activists Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Ekaterina Samutsevich left Viona, an established activist collective, in order to form their own feminist punk rock group dubbed Pussy Riot. A public performance of an original song accusing Russian authorities of sexism quickly drew international media attention; undeterred by the arrest of several members, Pussy Riot then decided to conduct a punk rock church service in the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Three of the girls were again arrested and threatened with seven years in prison. Initially offered liberty if they agreed to confess and repent for their "crimes," the women refused to budge and were sentenced to two years in prison. This defeat in court becomes their moral victory, as Pussy Riot is cheered on by thousands of new-found fans and worldwide supporters."… A busy and interesting documentary that will provide international audiences with a much richer appreciation of the Pussy Riot phenomenon." - Jennie Kermode, Eye for FilmMode of access: World Wide Web.

- Jörg Simonides, Kirsten Block, Sylvia RiegerOriginally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1987.Journalist and single mother Marga doesn't hold the music profession in high regard and is not particularly excited when her boss sends her to interview aspiring rock singer Anne. Anne is a trained machinist and lives at East Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg, famous for its artistic alternative communities. Marga is surprised when Anne gives unconventional and provoking answers to routine interview questions. When Robert, an unpublished poet who always has a witty line up his sleeve, and who is also Anne's ex-boyfriend, shows up, Marga becomes way more interested in her interview assignment. A love triangle comedy set in the bohemian East Berlin Prenzlauer Berg atmosphere combined with 1980s punk rock music á la Nina Hagen that comments on East German taboo topics, including environmental issues. The film offers references not only to Konrad Wolf’s Solo Sunny but also to international film history, including Billy Wilder, Woody Allen and Ernst Lubitsch.Scripted by Stefan Kolditz (Burning Life, Dresden), this comedy is inspired by the real story behind the making of Konrad Wolf’s classic Solo Sunny (1978-79). Wolf’s scriptwriter, Wolfgang Kohlhaase, had read an unpublished interview by journalist Jutta Voigt with Sanije Torka, a mechanic apprentice who later studied performance arts and was cast in DEFA films in the 1970s and 1980s.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

- Esto es rock! / by Guix, Manu.; De Pedro, Patri.; Aguilà, Helena.;
- The first musical story by Manu Guix to understand that being faithful to your feelings is the key to knowing how to express them and to love yourself and be loved just the way you are. Manu is a child with great sensitivity, and has always expressed his emotions and feelings through music. His friends and family know that one day he could be a great musician, but his classmate, Joel, insists that feelings are silly. And the music too! What they don't know is that they are both about to discover that saying or doing what we feel is much more complicated than we think and that, many times, we have more things in common than we think. A story about emotions and the power of music and art as tools to learn to manage them and to listen to oneself.
