The Darling Berlin film “Junk Space Berlin” by Juri Padel celebrates its cinema premiere today at the Kulturbrauerei cinema in Prenzlauer Berg.
The cinema premiere will take place on Thursday, 21 September 2023, at the Kino der Berliner Kulturbrauerei at 8 pm. The film will then be shown in selected screenings nationwide.
“Junk Space Berlin” is a bizarrely provocative film that resembles a hallucination during a Berlin club night. Director Juri Padel portrays Berlin, which is divided by an inexplicable “crack”, as a metaphor for the former East-West divide. In this post-apocalyptic city, various characters, including hackers, preppers and musicians, search for a mysterious musician. The film is characterised by visual glitches and has a hallucinogenic tone.
Despite the lack of a traditional plot, the audience is led through a world between digital and analogue, reality and illusion. The narrative is supported by vivid acting performances that are strongly reminiscent of theatre.
The narrative plays with contemporary times and discourses, including socio-political commentary. “Junk Space Berlin” conveys a sense of loss and distance from the present. In the end, the question of identity and place remains in the darkness of Berlin.
