Markus Imhof (f. 1941) slog igenom 1981 med "Das Boot ist voll" som förutom att vinna Silverbjörnen också nominerades till en Oscar. Om sin senaste film "Inte bara honung" säger han: ”Bees have become chain workers, a machine expected to function upon the simple push of a button. In that sense, (and assuming the risk of sounding presumptuous), I could almost say that More Than Honey is a bit like Chaplin’s Modern Times – as told by bees.”
