The Forum initiative, founded by Erika and Ulrich Gregor, played a significant role in independent cinema by providing a platform for renowned filmmakers such as Peter Greenaway, Jim Jarmusch, and Michael Moore to screen their first films. Originally established as an alternative to the Berlinale's selection in the 1970s, the Forum eventually became an integral part of the festival. The Gregor couple's dedication to their vision of bringing unique films from around the world to audiences is highlighted in director Alice Agneskirchner's documentary, which not only explores the history of cinema but also sheds light on Germany's recent past. Through personal memories, scenes from classic films, archival footage, news clips, and interviews with various filmmakers, the film captures the essence of Gregor's love for cinema and their contribution to preserving the memory and cultural events of the time. Wim Wenders summarizes their significance by stating, "The Gregors are the memory of cinema," emphasizing their role as a window into the world and the events of the era.
