Mona Mur in Conversation - a film directed by Dietmar Post & produced by Lucía Palacios (Makers of Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback, German Pop & Circumstance and Donna Summer: Hot Stuff), Germany, 2025, 87 min, Winner of Audience Awards at Unerhört Music Film Festival Hamburg and Soundwatch Music Film Festival Berlin, Theatrical release in Germany in October 2025, Soundtrack Album coming soon. ENGLISH In this visually captivating documentary film-brimming with rare, never-before-seen live performances, archival video clips, vintage newspaper clippings, and evocative photographs-filmmaker Dietmar Post sits down for an intimate and revealing conversation with Mona Mur, delving deep into her artistic evolution, fearless creative defiance, and the complex realities of navigating the ever-shifting landscape of the music industry. Born in Hamburg, Mona Mur emerged from the German underground of the early 1980s, blending post-punk, industrial, and electronic music with a bold pop sensibility. Collaborating with artists like FM Einheit, Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Dieter Meier (Yello), and The Stranglers' J.J. Burnel, she crafted a distinctive sound. Beyond music, she has worked in film and game composition. ABOUT THE TRAILER Wow, the trailer instantly gives me goosebumps! Uncompromising, straight to the point, and maybe even a kind of essence of the film itself? For me, the trailer`s powerful impact comes from its bold minimalism, the courage to leave things open, and everything that resonates through that, hinting at a whole space of possibilities within the film. And that song, of course, sets a beautiful tone, the lyrics match perfectly. I am genuinely excited and cannot wait to see this film! (Erik Meininger, Managing Director of the German Documentary Association)
