Jürgen Knieper
Jürgen Knieper (born 14 March 1941) is a German film score composer. Born in Karlsruhe, he was educated at Berlin's State High School of Music. Career He began working for director Wim Wenders with his 1972 film '' The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty''. For Wenders' 1975 film '' The Wrong Move'', Knieper won the German Film Award for Best Music. Wenders turned to Knieper again for the music of his 1987 film ''Wings of Desire''. Knieper assumed harps and violins would suffice for a score for a film about angels, until he saw a cut of the film. Seeing the angels were discontent, he wrote a different score employing a choir, voices and whistling. Musicologist Annette Davison argued this score includes elements of Eastern European and Orthodox Christian music. In 1990, he was nominated for the European Film Award for Best Composer for ''December Bride''.

Room 666
''Room 666'' (french: Chambre 666) is a 1982 documentary film directed by German film director Wim Wenders. During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, Wenders set up a static camera in room 666 of the Hotel Martinez and provided selected film directors a list of questions to answer concerning the future of cinema. Each director is given one 16 mm reel (approximately 11 minutes) to answer the questions. The principal question asked was, "Is cinema a language about to get lost, an art about to die?" Wenders then edited this footage and added an introduction. Directors interviewed include Steven Spielberg, Jean-Luc Godard, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who died less than a month after filming.
