First insights into the life of the Munich cult figure and documentary pioneer
"Gernstl unterwegs" – along the Danube, to the Matterhorn, from Sylt to the Elbe, from the Dolomites to Lake Garda, to Jesolo, Holland, Ireland, Los Angeles! For 42 years, Franz Xaver Gernstl has traveled back and forth through Germany, Europe, and the world in his BR cult series "Gernstl unterwegs". What drove him was less the search for meaning, but rather the search for people: How do they live? What dreams do they have? What do they stand for? Which life designs are coherent, and which need to be redesigned?
Gernstl has met people who believe in miracles, people who lead an off-grid life in the forest, people who have more than 20 outrageously expensive classic cars in the garage, people in the countryside, people in the city, people on the margins of society, people on the fast lane. But how did he find them all? How does one plan random encounters? Just lucky, or what?
In this book, Gernstl looks back on his life as a filmmaker, on the years "on the road," the stories behind the stories, and what he did not search for but still found.

Doors open: 7:00 PM
