Das Kino ist tot, es lebe das Kino - Berlinale-Beobachtungen

On the occasion of the last “Berlinale” under the direction of Dieter Kosslick in February 2019, the camera follows the festival director on his professional assignments and also takes part in the few moments of breathing deeply.

Berlin Symphony

The documentary film describes a day in the big city of Berlin and is based on Walter Ruttmann's 1927 black-and-white silent film Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt, which also depicts a day in the big city of Berlin with musical accompaniment. As with Ruttmann, Schadt's film is also based on the tension curve of a symphony, although it is much flatter here. The spirit of optimism and hectic pace of the 1920s, which dominate the rhythm of its predecessor, have largely given way to a certain melancholy. The film reinterprets Ruttman's approach and shows the ruptures and wounds that Berlin suffered both socially and in the cityscape as a result of the war and the years that followed.
