In the organizer's words:
Special screening in the presence of filmmakers Ili Jelusic and Denise Dörner, followed by a film discussion
Founded in Weil am Rhein in 1982, the thrash metal band Destruction is one of the Big Three of German thrash metal alongside Kreator and Sodom. With their uncompromising music and energetic live performances, they have won millions of fans worldwide and released numerous albums that are considered classics of the genre.The documentary The Art of Destruction by Ili Jelusic and Denise Dörner offers a unique insight behind the scenes of this influential band. Singer Schmier and guitarist Mike, both in their mid-50s, are transitioning to a new phase in their lives and dream of touring the world together with Sodom and Kreator. But unexpected events call their plans into question and threaten the existence of the band.
Over a period of five years, the filmmakers accompanied the band and collected exclusive material that stands out from traditional, interview-heavy documentaries. In reportage-like scenes, the viewer dives deep into the world of Destruction and experiences the highs and lows of life as a heavy metal musician, from gigs in small, sweaty clubs to huge open-air stages. Schmier always remains true to his convictions and leads the band through every challenge.
The Art of Destruction uncompromisingly shows what it means to live a life for heavy metal, providing intimate insights into the passion and fighting spirit of one of thrash metal's most influential bands.
