Event Details
Anyone with an interest in Berlin, 80s music, punk, techno, youth, hedonism, fashion, drugs, subcultures, the iron curtain, the DDR, alternative films, or German artists in general wants to watch B-MOVIE: LUST & SOUND IN WEST BERLIN – a documentary about music, art and chaos in the Wild West Berlin of the 1980s.
With mostly unreleased TV and film footage, photos and original interviews, B-MOVIE (2015, 92 min, German with English subs) tells the story of life in the divided city, a cultural inter-zone in which everything and anything seemed possible in a place unlike anywhere else in Europe.
It’s a fast-paced collage of stories from a frenzied but creative decade, starting with punk and ending with the Love Parade, all from a city where the days are short and the nights are endless. This is a time when Berlin was like a B-MOVIE: Colourfully cheap and trashy, threatened and thrown together, anxious and ambitious, clubbed and caned, stoned and strung out, drunk, drugged and – just very special.
