"Cologne 75" tells the true story of the rebellious 18-year-old Vera Brandes (Mala Emde), who risks everything to make her dream come true.

Against the wishes of her conservative parents, she books the Cologne Opera House at her own risk to bring Keith Jarrett (John Magaro) to Cologne for a concert in January 1975. This improvised hour at the piano, which threatens to fall apart right up to the last moment, is immortalized on vinyl and regarded by many as one of the most popular works of art of the 20th century: Keith Jarrett’s “The Köln Concert.”

The film celebrated its world premiere in February 2025 at the Berlinale in the Berlinale Special Gala section.

Free admission; doors open at 8:30 p.m.
