 | One of the most interesting districts of the capital is Prenzlauer Berg. Located east of the center, it attracts both old and new Berliners. Even before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the dilapidated old buildings provided shelter to the alternative scene, quickly leading to the creation of the "Prenzlauer Berg myth". Intellectuals, artists, and students shaped the district, it was even referred to as the Montmartre of Berlin. After the fall of the Wall, this image drew in newcomers, affluent youth, and the in-crowd. A rapid transformation began. Trendy bars sprouted up like mushrooms, one Wilhelminian-era residential building after another was renovated. Prenzlauer Berg became the most popular residential and nightlife district in the capital. The picture book showcases these changes, but also much of the district's original charm. In courtyards and prefabricated buildings, industrial monuments, and modern new buildings, the past and future of the district become clear. Unknown and prominent residents - Wolfgang Thierse - have their say. Craftsmen and artists, who shape the district, are introduced along with musicians, multimedia agencies, and architects. |

 | For 40 years, the Mitte district was at the center of Berlin, followed by 40 years of separation by a wall. The western part was a wound of the Soviet empire. In the early 90s, after the fall of the wall, a habitable space for people from the former western foreign countries emerged in the Spandauer Vorstadt. International young artists found vacant, affordable apartments in the formerly strictly guarded border area near Friedrichstraße and experienced a freedom that had disappeared in their home countries. The film GESTERN MITTE MORGEN tells the story of these people, their places of life, longings, their everyday life and their art. |

 | In a poetic exploration, director Regina Schilling invites the audience to witness the creative process: actress Sandra Hüller approaches the life of Ingeborg Bachmann—imagining a single day in her life—and lends a haunting presence to her words. Through an artful tapestry of improvised scenes, archival treasures, interviews, and Bachmann’s own writings, the film traverses the author’s key life stages—from her wartime childhood in Carinthia and her rise to stardom within the "Gruppe 47" to her final days in Rome. |

 | In the 1960s, many African countries fought for their independence from the European colonial powers. While the Soviet Union and other socialist countries support decolonization, the USA and its Western allies view this with skepticism. Their interest primarily lies in the natural resources which they want to maintain control over. The USA tries to adopt unconventional methods and sends jazz greats like Louis Armstrong and Nina Simone as ambassadors to African states to portray the West positively, while figures like Malcolm X and other jazz artists solidarize with the independence movement at the same time. |
