Film evening “Mein Kiez. History(s) of the divided Berlin”
16th May | 6 pm | Roof top FHXB Museum
As a film student in 1991, Can Candan interviewed migrants of Turkish origin from Kreuzberg: What did the fall of the Wall mean for them and their everyday lives? What fears and hopes did they associate with it? How did they deal with the flare-up of racism?
In “Walls 2.0”, authors Jana König, Elisabeth Steffen and Inga Turczyn interview some of the participants in “Duvarlar” again: How do they view issues such as racism, nationalism and economic exploitation today? Are there new 'walls'? People from the eastern part of Berlin also have their say.
“Duvarlar - Mauern - Walls” (D, 2000), directed by Can Candan
Excerpts from the film “Walls 2.0 - migrant and anti-racist perspectives on the fall of the Wall” (D, 2011)
