Michael Bully Herbig has made millions of Germans laugh. The comedian, actor and director is known for his hugely successful comedic productions. His two classic films DER SCHUH DES MANITU (DE 2001) and (T)RAUMSCHIFF SURPRISE - PERIODE 1 (DE 2004) alone attracted more than 20 million people to the cinema. But now (for the time being) the fun is over. With his latest work BALLON, Herbig more than convincingly switched to the serious genre. He filmed the real story of an escape from the GDR by hot air balloon. The gripping thriller drama will be shown at the DFF cinema on 04 April. After the screening in the cinema, Herbig will then talk in the foyer with Urs Spörri (DFF) about his new film, about his career as a director, producer and actor as well as the work on BALLON.
Film starts: 6 p.m.

Although I don't have an answer for everything, there's a lot to talk about!", Herbig announced.
In addition to the film screenings with Herbig in Frankfurt and Nidda, contemporary witness and film character Günter Wetzel will also be present for a film talk in Weilburg on Thursday, April 4.
