DOCUMENTARIES - German Unity Day is annually held on October 3 to mark the anniversary of the nation's unification. It remembers when the Federal Republic of Germany and the Democratic Republic of Germany united to create one single, federal Germany on October 3, 1990. On this occasion we’ll screen the documentary THE BERLIN WALL (2003, 45 min), as well as CYCLING THE FRAME (1988, 30min). The latter is part documentary part art-film, about the Berlin Wall back in 1988 when West Berlin was still an isolated fiefdom of the “capitalist west”, located 125 miles behind the Iron Curtain in communist eastern Europe. The film follows a young girl (Tilda Swinton of “Narnia” fame) and her thoughts as she circumnavigates West Berlin alongside the 96 mile long, iconic, symbol of the cold war.
