Experience the Buchheim Villa as a cinematic art experience

The documentary The Villa and Its Buchheim leads on October 9, 2026, into an extraordinary cosmos of residential house, workshop, collection, museum, archive, and publishing house. In the cultural theater of Tutzing, visitors encounter the multifaceted living and working space of Lothar-Günther Buchheim and his wife Diethild.

A house between collection and wonder world

Over decades, the property acquired in the 1950s in Feldafing on Lake Starnberg developed into a total work of art of everyday life. The cinematic excursion makes visible the spaces where painting, drawing, photography, literature, publishing work, and the passion for collecting overlapped. The villa does not appear as static architecture but as a living installation full of traces, objects, and personal stories.

Lothar-Günther Buchheim: Artist, Collector, and Cultural Mediator

The film portrays an eccentric multi-talent that worked as a painter, draftsman, photographer, author, publisher, and passionate collector. His aesthetic experience was fed by direct encounters with things, materials, and images. It is precisely this connection between art production, cultural education, and private collection that shapes the art-historical significance of the evening.

Cinematic work observation with atmospheric depth

Companions and staff guide through the mysterious house and open the view to its special spatial effect. Between memory images, quiet interiors, and humorous stories, an exhibition atmosphere arises that makes the lost place perceptible again for the duration of the film. The villa becomes a projection surface for questions about memory, ownership, creativity, and the relationship between art and life.
