Summer of anarchy
Capital B" tells the story of Berlin in an exciting and entertaining way. The documentary series was showered with praise by critics and rewarded with a nomination for the Grimme Prize.
November 1989: The Berlin Wall has barely fallen when the battles over the future of the still divided city and the distribution of the newly created spaces and opportunities begin. Vain provincial politicians, enterprising real estate developers and battle-hardened squatters from the West, but also freedom-seeking young techno pioneers from East and West.
They are all trying to seize the moment and stake their claims between derelict walls, dilapidated old buildings and the abandoned industrial plants of a lost country. For the subculture, it is a brief summer of anarchy in which anything seems possible, in which utopia and chaos lie close together. But the old power elites of West Berlin put an abrupt end to this in a major police operation. The dream is over.
The first part of the documentary series followed by a Q&A with director Florian Opitz and the cast of "Capital B", moderated by film curator Hannah Kretzschmar.
