Die Stadt als Beute

In the organizer's words:

From London to New York, Berlin is suddenly considered "the place to be". This awakens desires.

Everyone wants to live here and many want to buy an apartment here, which - compared to "back home" - is dirt cheap. Former state housing stock is being privatized and rented apartments are being turned into property. Worlds are colliding and parallel universes are opening up.

Andreas Wilcke has been investigating this process for four years. He travels all over the city with his camera, interviewing the various players, accompanying estate agents, investors and prospective buyers on the hunt for bargains and tenants on their way through the institutions. The viewer is virtually there live when an entire city is turned upside down in fast motion.

The documentary will be shown as part of the "Free City" exhibition from December 4 to 8.

Price information:

The film screening will take place as part of the "Free City" exhibition from December 4 to 8. Admission is free here too. Come along and dress warmly, the screening venue suits the film perfectly and is a little more draughty than a normal movie theater!
