On 9 November 1989, Berlin was reunited. The Berlin Wall fell – the end of the massive border complex that left Berlin divided into East and West for 28 years, tearing apart families, friends and neighbours. Today, Berlin is known as a place of freedom, opportunity and individuality. But that was not always the case.

On 13  August 1961, work began on constructing the Berlin Wall. It stood as a symbol of a divided city and country, of terror and the cold war. Overnight, it changed an entire nation.
 
For many people, the Fall of the Wall on 9 November 1989 was the best day of their lives – the day they regained their freedom through a peaceful revolution.  2019 is dedicated to the 30 ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL, symbolising reunification and democracy.

To commemorate the Fall of the Berlin Wall,  Consulate General of Federal Republic of Germany and Indo Cine Appreciation Foundation  in cooperation with Goethe-Institut presents a series of films and invites you to join in this celebration.
