Marc Bauder, whose documentary “Who We Were,” a visually stunning cinematic search for solutions to the increasingly dire problems facing Planet Earth, unspools at Copenhagen’s Cph:Dox, is going in a very different direction on his next project — a narrative feature film about a cross-dressing flamenco dancer and Jewish resistance fighter who killed Nazis in occupied Poland.
“Dolores” will tell the true story of Sylvin Rubinstein, whose Russian mother was forced to moved with him and his twin sister Maria to Poland in 1917. Initially poor, he and his sister shot to fame in the 1930s, becoming flamenco superstars as the dancing act Imperio y Dolores and touring Europe and the world, including shows in London, New York and Melbourne.
Back in Poland when the Germans invaded, they were forced into the Warsaw Ghetto, but Sylvin managed to escape. He eventually became a resistance fighter, dressing as Dolores, the elegant persona of his lost sister,...

Films Boutique has acquired Marc Bauder’s cinematic documentary “Who We Were,” which is set to world premiere in the “Berlinale Special” section of the Berlin Film Festival.
“Who We Were” observes the current state of the world and postulates about the future through intense encounters with six intellectuals and scientists, including the astronaut Alexander Gerst, the deep sea researcher Sylvia Earle, the molecular biologist and buddhist monk Mathieu Ricard, the economist Dennis Snower, the philosopher and sociologist Felwine Sarr and the philosopher and critical posthumanist Janina Loh.
Bauder follows his interviewees into the depths of the ocean, to the top of the world, and out into the far reaches of space. Together, they explore the incredible capabilities of the human brain, a global economic summit, the legacy of colonization, and the feelings of a robot.
“Who We Were” was lensed by high-profile cinematographer Börres Weiffenbach and was inspired by...

Pioneering electronic music group Kraftwerk blazed another trail during their concert Friday when an in-orbit astronaut joined the band live via video chat to perform “Spacelab.”
The unique collaboration occurred during Kraftwerk’s concert in Stuttgart, Germany, the Associated Press reports, with German astronaut Alexander Gerst “dropping in” from the International Space Station.
Gerst used a tablet configured with a virtual synthesizer to play Kraftwerk’s The Man-Machine cut “Spacelab,” a fitting choice, with the band’s co-founder Ralf Hütter. The duet lasted five minutes, after which Gerst signed off...
