Berlin Babylon, 2001
Director: Hubertus Siegert
88 minutes
German; Turkish and English subtitles
Berlin after the wall; a decade of city reconstruction. Architects, developers, engineers, urban planners, politicians, commissioners and builders are working frantically to restore the urban fabric destroyed in World War II and the period afterwards to prepare the capital ready for the 21st century. A drama of real estate, money and power, Hubertus Siegert’s first documentary film reflects the fascination of rapid change and the horrors of destruction through images of a city in transition.
Accompanied by German industrial legend Einstürzende Neubauten’s music, Berlin Babylon was presented as the opening film in the Panorama section at the 2001 Berlin International Film Festival.
Program is free and open to all. Reservations are not accepted. For further information: salt.ankara@saltonline.org
