Berlin Bouncer
Directed by David Dietl
Produced by ARTE, Flare Film
An intimate documentary portrait of three Berlin bouncers navigating aging, legacy, and identity within a vibrant nightlife culture spanning three decades.
A portrait of Berlin’s most famous bouncers – Sven Marquardt, Frank Künster and Smiley Baldwin. The three men have been part and parcel of the capital’s club scene for more than 25 years – from the days after the fall of the Berlin Wall to the present day – but aren’t yet considering calling it a day even though life makes more demands on them as they turn 50.
