The film features the last interview Summer did before her death in 2012.
- The monks were 5 American GIs in cold war Germany who billed themselves as the anti-Beatles; they were heavy on feedback, nihilism and electrical banjo. They had strange haircuts, dressed in black, mocked the military and rocked harder than any of their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, kraut rock, heavy metal, punk and techno music.
- Franco's Settlers is a contemporary evaluation of the figure of the dictator Franco; a discreet and calm attempt to dissect recent Spanish history and to review how some Spaniards deal with the cruel heritage of their past.
- In 2010, an Argentinean judge launched an attempt to prosecute crimes committed during the Franco dictatorship. Will the so-called Argentinean trials become the Spanish Nuremberg?
- "Animare: Trails in the World's Chaparral" is a story about creation and decay, about movement and static, about growth and decrease, about the vast source of nature and change. It is a meditation of light and darkness and sound and silence. Objects come into being and vanish, they move or stand still, they grow or shrink. They are found in nature: whole plants, stalks, roots, panicles, bones, stones, which obtain our interest. Also shaped forms of paper, cut or torn, which communicate with nature. Each sound has also a sound shadow and each shadow contains a sound. In the performance tension is created through slow movement and the dialog with the sounds. In October 2010 "Animare" was performed during the culture days in Sophienkirche in München (Riem). An exhibition of Gisela Oberbeck was shown: a series of paper cuts, which figured vanished or threatened plants and they were integrated into the performance. Filmmakers and archivists Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios captured the performance for the Play Loud (Live) Music Series.
- To this day, Damo Suzuki of Can continues to tour the world, playing improvised sets with one-off ensembles of local musicians as he goes. On this Berlin date, his Sound Carriers include Ilpo Väisänen of Pan Sonic and Dirk Dresselhaus of Schneider TM, among other remarkable types. This instant composition was performed at the club Marie-Antoinette. The renowned filmmakers Lucía Palacios and Dietmar Post captured the concert in one continuous 120-minute take. As part of the Play Loud (Live) Music Series, the performance is also available as a double vinyl LP.
- This is the only live gig ever filmed with Manchester post-punk band Gods Gift. In heavy rotation at the BBC in the early 80s. Mark E. Smith was a fan too.
- Reverend Billy, a.k.a. Bill Talen, is an actor/performance artist and a leading figure in the anti-globalization movement. His work combines the forces of social and political change with the means of theater arts to counteract our media culture. His artistic and political work is influenced by various concepts of "street theater." His disruptions or "shopping interventions" in public spaces are in the tradition of the Living Theater, José Bové, Lenny Bruce, The Yippies. The film follows the Reverend's "shopping interventions/actions" into cultural dead zones within the island of Manhattan such as Starbucks, Disney and the New York University construction site at the Edgar Allan Poe House.

- "Harsh theatrical monologue by a desperate man. Ray is a crack addict who has not scored for too long. Withdrawal symptoms cloud his paranoid mind. He sharpens his knife to take it out on his girlfriend who fled with his pipe and his crack. Sometimes his cruel and violent sexual fantasies are visualized, but in general the insane verbal ravings of the goaded Ray predominate."
- These two female singers from New York City, who also play piano and electric guitar full of reverb, cross the Atlantic this time around with their own band. So, it's very likely that their "urban folk" will be even more compact, infectious and soulful than ever before. Their last album, released on the Klangbad label, got rave reviews around the globe - with NME giving it four points out of five. It could well be a foretaste of what we can expect live: heart-warming songs celebrating close harmony create a wonderful mood - only interrupted now and again by gruff punk-interludes that arrive just in time to rescue things from becoming too celebratory. The concert was filmed for the "play loud! (live) music series".
- In 2008 filmmakers Palacios and Post started the "play loud (live) music series". FM Einheit (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Hans-Joachim Irmler (Faust) performed one of their seldom live shows at Berlin techno club Berghain.

- At the event "Shadows of the Past" Felipe González, Emilio Silva and Carlos Castresana discussed the following questions: How much of historic memory is necessary? What kind of traces of Francoism are left in Spain? Can we still say that the Spanish democratization process was exemplary?
- When the Teichmann Brothers are at the decks or playing live they ride high with the crowd, 2 guys on a natural high, jumping, raving, always wearing that distinctive Teichmann smile, a euphoria reflected in the music and a smile you can't help returning. The Teichmann sets - ping-pong sets with the two brothers playing each other the ball, consistently unpredictable and focused. Dramatically mixing genres from minimal to acid, to chicago, techno, rock and house as one. Originally from Regensburg (Germany), they were exposed to music by their father, the jazz saxophonist Ulrich Teichmann, right from the early days. Filmmakers Dietmar Post & Lucia Palacios captured the two brothers live at the closing night of world famous Berlin club Maria. The concert forms part of the "play loud! (live) music series (audio & video)": 001 Floating di Morel, 002 Doc Schoko, 003 Irmler + Einheit, 004 Faust, 005 Gebrueder Teichmann.

- The post-CAN Jaki Liebezeit developed an innovative drum set that permits a mode of playing that was already theoretically honed to be physically implemented in optimum fashion. Friedman's programmed or played sequences and place-less sound particles adhere the same understanding of rhythm, allowing the two heterogeneous sound generators to perfectly inter-mesh and form a unit, both acoustically and electronically, in terms of improvisation and concept alike. Filmmakers and archivists Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios have captured one of their performances at Festsaal Kreuzberg (Berlin) for the "play loud (live) music series".
