Punk in Dusseldorf 1977-1979 German Television: Friday, the fourth of April, 2008.. Charley's Girls on the telly. On 3SAT. A short movie by Astrid Heibach. Many thanks to Franz Bielmeier for the photos. Charley's Girls (Directed by Astrid Heibach, FRG 2005, 22 min) Film Synopsis: In this film, the grandson of Franz Bielmeier (one of the Girls' founding members besides Peter Hein and Markus Oehlen) gives an account of the beginnings and the early period of punk in Düsseldorf between 1977 and 1979 from his own point of view (which is charming and not in the least bit naive).
