About DEFA Disko 77
A film gala featuring a colorfully mixed program of musical numbers, along with the most popular artists of the GDR music, film and television scenes. The majority of the show is comprised of music performances, which are visually altered or transformed. Cabaret-style written contributions and one acts round out the program. Before each performance, the artists involved are seen in an everyday situation in their life.
Directed by Heinz Thiel, Werner W. Wallroth, DEFA Disko 77 leans on a strong ensemble — Birgit Edenharter, Rolf Herricht, Ursula Staack — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1977.
