Movies by Sven Väth
SubBerlin - Underground United
The original Tresor was in many ways the quintessential Berlin club: located in an unrenovated vault beneath a bombed out department store, it opened its doors amidst the general confusion and ecstasy that swept across the city when the wall fell. Its low ceilings, industrial decor and generally unhinged atmosphere created an unprecedented platform not only for techno in Berlin, but also for the scene taking shape across the Atlantic in Detroit.
Im Techno-Rausch - 60 Stunden Dauerparty
Documentary about the rave and techno scene of the 90s.
Party! Party! Party! – Der lange Tanz des Techno
A documentary about the rave and techno scene of the 90s. Back then, this emerging youth scene was still unfamiliar to most people and difficult to categorize.
Pioneers of Electronic Music, Volume 1: Richie Hawtin
The film draws from the important stages and events in Richie Hawtin’s personal and artistic life, and follows Hawtin’s transformation from introverted and transplanted computer nerd into a DJ and techno-entrepreneur. The 70 min documentary features an extensive archive of unreleased photos, video and interviews. Of special interest are Hawtin’s relationship with his family, especially his technophile dad, his fascination with Detroit and his early DJ gigs.
Sven Vath: The Sound of the 5th Season
It's been five years since techno overlord Sven Väth ascended the shores of party mecca Ibiza on a mission to conquer the small island. As an alternative to the oversaturation of house and trance that were the staples of island-goers' diets, Väth quietly built up a following during the party season with his Cocoon nights at the Amnesia club. This DVD features Sven Vath mixing live at Amnesia.
