Synth East present exclusive screening of B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin,1979–1989
Followed by Q&A with Adam Buxton and John Foxx
The final years of West Berlin’s hedonism and chaos are shown in this unique and beautifully fragmented documentary. For all those who love subculture, rebellion and music, this is a staggering piece of cinema.
Music, art and chaos in the wild West-Berlin of the 1980s. The walled-in city became the creative melting pot for sub- and pop-culture. Before the iron curtain fell, everything and anything seemed possible. B-MOVIE is a fast-paced collage of mostly unreleased film and TV footage from a frenzied but creative decade, starting with punk and ending with the Love Parade, in a city where the days are short and the nights are endless. Where it was not about long-term success, but about living for the moment – the here and now.
