B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin
About this Event
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of legends like David Bowie and CAN, Manchester punk rocker and early electronic music acolyte Mark Reeder arrives in a divided Berlin in 1979. Luckily, he films everything he sees: black leather-clad teenagers, giant pink and red hairdos, gritty basement gigs, and a parade of the scene's most illustrious figures, including Nick Cave, Mania D's Gudrun Gut, and Einstürzende Neubauten's Blixa Bargeld. From the movement's system-smashing highs to its waning years in the age of reunification, Reeder is the outsider with an insider's view of the beating heart of Germany's underground cultural life.
Lovingly assembled from a decade of fascinating film and audio material, B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin provides a fast-paced but no less intimate look at Berlin's punk and electronic subculture through the eyes of one of its greatest devotees. Winner of the Heiner Carow Prize at the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival.
With Mark Reeder, Marius Weber, Gudrun Gut, Annette Humpe, Blixa Bargeld, Nick Cave, Nena, and Christiane F.
