_FEIERN_ is a 2006 documentary film about the electronic dance music scene
(e.g., house music, techno). Maja Classen wrote and directed the film.
** Synopsis
The film features people from Berlin's electronic dance music scenes
(primarily house music and techno, but especially their “minimal” sub-scenes).
The majority of the film consists of footage of individual interviews, cut and
interpolated together to create narratives around certain themes, such as
music, drugs, love, addiction, friendship, and sexuality. Among the
interviewees were DJs, bouncers, bartenders, and partygoers.
The material for the film included 19 interviews, 56 nights (i.e., nighttime
music events), and 13 musical tracks.
** Production and release
The film was made under the direction of Maja Classen, with cinematography by
Andreas Bergmann and editing by Sylke Rohrlach. The poetic prose that opens
and closes the film was written by German author, playwright, and essayist
Rainald Goetz.
The film premiered on 22 March 2006 in the Kino Babylon Theater in Berlin.
Afterwards, it was shown in several film festivals, including _achtung
berlin—new film award_[1] and the _44th Gijon International Film Festival_ in
Spain.[2] On 3 November 2006 the record label interGroove Tonträger Vertriebs
GmbH released the film for DVD distribution under the title _Feiern_ with a
16-year licensing term. The DVD was distributed with a free CD that included
music from the film's soundtrack.
