Film club b-ware! are again organizing their “Awarded Summer” (Ausgezeichneter Sommer) in Berlin, which means independent movies screened at amazing outdoor locations Bar25 and Badeschiff (at Badeschiff you can even enjoy the movie from the pool!).

This is the story of The Monks, one of the most radical and influential rock bands of the mid sixties. What’s transatlantic about them? They were a group of GIs stationed in Hamburg/Germany in the midst of the cold war and they made their mark in the history of rock music by releasing just one album.

Filmmakers Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios dedicate their documentary “The Transatlantic Feedback” to this remarkable band. Director Dietmar Post will be attending the screening.
