COMRADE COUTURE is a journey into the wild parallel world of the fashionistas and Bohemians of East Berlin. It was a fantasy world within East Germany’s very restricted everyday life. Here you could break ranks, be individual and provocative. The most important identifying feature of the scene was the development of a personal style, because you couldn’t buy such a thing in GDR times. In this nether world, you had to create your individual image. This film tells of the longing, passions and dreams which were tested, experienced and lived out in the shadow of the Wall.
Born in East-Berlin in 1966.

A DAAD fellow in the USA and in Thailand, he also trained at the Actors Studio in New York. Graduating in directing from the Konrad Wolf College in 2001, he subsequently lectured in Russia, Thailand and Vietnam.
