This session screens a “memory of Berlin” based on the poetic film with which Filipa César evokes the Communist dream of conquering the cosmos, moving on to archive memories of East Germany in Narkevicius’s lyrical compilation of propaganda films from the GDR, a live documentary look at the fall of the wall in works by Jonas Mekas and Chris Marker, and John Burgan’s autobiographical approach.
