BER-LIN 99/00

Overview

«Berlin, a city that was nearly levelled during World War II and divided between East and West for four decades, is the subject of André Lehmann’s impressive structural film ‘BER-LIN 99/00’. Tracing the former line of the wall, Lehmann’s rigorous study of the city’s neighbourhoods (architecture, bridges, billboards, graffiti, parks) is set to a fixed rhythm, suggesting the forward march of time.» —Susan Oxtoby (TIFF 2004, Wavelengths)
