Still from Christoph Doering's "Persona Non Grata," 1981

Cinema Project presents Screaming City: West Berlin 1980s: "In the decade before the fall of the Berlin Wall, a vast number of films were produced in and about West Berlin, dealing with the ambivalent realities of the enclosed city. No longer was it about devoting oneself to the World Revolution, but rather about implementing alternative life-styles, which gave rise to social resistance, strident underground cultures, and sexual border-crossing." Curator Stefanie Schulte Strathaus of Berlin's Arsena will present a series of experimental super-8 films "from this dynamic and complex period of our recent past."
