When a young boy decides to run away from home with his beloved pet duck Mr. Quack Quack, the two find themselves lost in a strange world filled with singing anthropomorphic blue apes and cannibal crocodiles, deadly booby traps, and psychedelic hellscapes. Shot in Malaysia by veteran sexploitation filmmaker Donn Greer (101 ACTS OF LOVE), THE RARE BLUE APES OF CANNIBAL ISLE is a singularly bizarre “kid’s film” that’s ready to inspire nightmares yet again after being lost for nearly 50 years.

Presented as part of AMONG FRIENDS – UNTER FREUNDEN, a campaign of the Goethe-Institut USA to celebrate and strengthen transatlantic friendship. Summer 1990, Halberstadt, East Germany: The Berlin Wall has fallen, and the country is filled with uncertainty over what lies ahead. In a major step toward reunification, East German Marks can be exchanged for West German ones at a rate of two to one, giving citizens mere days to exchange their currency before the old bank notes become worthless. When three friends, Maren (Sandra Hüller), Robert (Max Riemelt), and Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld), stumble upon the vault near Halberstadt, where the old notes are being stored, they stuff their backpacks full of cash and hatch an intricate plan to put the soon-to-be worthless money into circulation. The group’s plan seems fool-proof until notes that never existed in the GDR begin to circulate. Writer-director Natja Brunckhorst spins the real events behind the “treasure of Halberstadt” into a crowd-pleasing tragicomedy adventure blending comedy, reflections on friendship, societal resilience, and community.
