They Call It Love

Directed by King Ampaw

Paul (William Donald Powell), a former American GI gets by as lead singer of a band in the wake of the 1968 cultural revolution in Munich. Paul’s monotonous life plays out between the hotel bar, his adjacent studio apartment, and the rare night out on the town or a visit to the suburbs. Director King Ampaw's thesis film at the University of Television and Film Munich is the second film by an African filmmaker to be shot in Germany (the first being Ibrahim Shaddad’s “Jagdpartie” in 1964).
