A powder keg of music, art and chaos erupts in 1980s West Berlin, fueling a creative melting pot that influences subculture and pop culture far beyond its borders. This blistering documentary, featuring appearances by Nick Cave, Christiane F., Mark Reeder, Einstürzende Neubauten and even David Hasselhoff, fuses unreleased film footage and original interviews with an iconic soundtrack. Documenting the punk era, the early DJ scene, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, B-Movie is a gritty and glamorous journey through music culture and creative life in the divided city.
Free and open to the public, please register in advance and bring photo ID for check-in
