Synopsis
While the fiction film focuses on the stormy, ultimately fatal relationship between Petra Kelly and Gert Bastian, HAPPY TOO looks at the dangers of a different kind of shooting: independent fiction filmmaking.
HAPPY TOO is not a ”making-of” documentary in the conventional sense. Its focus is the flip side of the world portrayed in Happiness is a Warm Gun . With the same penetrating gaze, irony and courage that Thomas Imbach used to probe the fantasy of activist romance, this time he takes aim at the myth of glamorous film acting. —First Hand Films
Director
Thomas Imbach
Thomas Imbach is a Swiss maverick director, whose work is visual, edgy and performance driven. In 2007 he founded Okofilm Productions together with director/ producer Andrea Štaka. With Well Done (1994) and Ghetto (1997) he established his trademark audio-visual style based on a combination of cinema-verité camera-work and fast-paced computer controlled editing. His fiction feature films Happiness is a Warm Gun (which was nominated for the Golden Leopard at Locarno in 2001), Lenz (2006) and I was a Swiss Banker (2007) all premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival.
