Partly trilingual (German / Spanish / English) and in fragments a tribute to the author Roberto Bolaño (1953 - 2003), the poems are an approach to Chile, the birthplace of Bolaño and the motherland of Matthias Santiago Staehle. Love is mania says one line, but what is mania? This poetry is feverish, greedy for life and equally careful and curious to search. Trying to find words to express love, home, dream and death. Im Anflug – on approach Bolañomania is published by Moloko Print (165 pages, 15 Euro, 8/2023). molokoplusrecords.de

Mikrofan is the feature film debut of Matthias Santiago Staehle and the first part of his love&music trilogy. Among many influences, the film comes out of a Hamburg realism tradition and is inspired and related with what some call the nouvelle vague allemande. Filmed with long camera takes and real hiphop musicians the movie gives a realistic portrait of youth and especially the Hamburg underground hiphop scene. Shooting on real locations gives the movie also a laconic atmosphere which is the handicraft and style of director Matthias Santiago Staehle.
Mikrofan will be screened at the 41th international Hofer Filmdays:
Thursday, 25.10.2007, 23:00 h, City Kino
Saturday, 27.10.2007, 00:30 h, Central Kino
