We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, May 16, 2017. This time we will screen the film called B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin directed by Jörg A. Hoppe, Heiko Lange, Klaus Maeck and Miriam Dehne.

The British musician, label owner and military fetishist Mark Reeder from Manchester had a fascination for electronic music (Tangerine Dream), which brought him to Berlin at the end of the 70s. Apparently – and luckily! – everything he experienced was filmed.

Mark Reeder is the host and presenter of this journey back into dilapidated West Berlin at the end of the Cold War. B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin (1979 – 1989) is not so much a documentary as it is a refined account compiled from documentary material, agreeably put together by Jörg A. Hoppe, Klaus Maeck and Heiko Lange and made into a new whole.

A high-grade, subjective declaration of love and, at the same time, a surprisingly cartographic feat that is rich in material. A warm reunion with oneself for all those who were there. And positively mind-expanding for all those who moved to Berlin and claim they now know where the party’s at, or even that Berlin didn’t start being hip until 1990.
