Filmszene aus „Berlin Bahnhof Friedrichstraße 1990“.
"Berlin Friedrichstrasse Station 1990" is a documentary film by Konstanze Binder, Lilly Grote, Ulrike Herdin, and Julia Kunert. When the border was dismantled at Friedrichstrasse Station in June 1990, the world was thrown into disarray and reassembled. Four filmmakers from East and West wanted to capture this historic moment: the flow of travelers, the thoughts and worries of passersby, the bewildered face of a customs officer.
"Berlin Friedrichstrasse Station 1990" is an important historical document and, at the same time, an audiovisual archive that unflinchingly captured the dizzying transformations of that era on celluloid. The footage shows, on a small scale, the upheaval that followed the fall of the Wall and the disorientation in a city suddenly reuniting.
Followed by a discussion with Lilly Grote
Film: 85 minutes
Language: German with English subtitles
In cooperation with the Neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK).
About the film series
The film series accompanying the exhibition "Today Still, Tomorrow Already" at the Nikolaikirche Museum explores the changes in Berlin since the end of the division from a variety of perspectives. Documentary and experimental films present personal stories, societal ruptures and continuities, as well as artistic interventions. Each evening, at least one director will be present to discuss their work and the context of their films with curators Suy Lan Hopmann and Florian Wüst.
