No film was as successful this summer in our NOMADENKINO as Symphony Of Now, which is based on Walter Ruttmann's Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt (1927). So we decided to do the obvious and screen both films in one evening. Berlin to the rhythm of work then and Berlin to the beat of celebration today. As long as I can remember, friends kept saying that they would have liked to have experienced the Berlin of the 20s. It seems that this city, which had to fight against itself for so long as a front-line city, draws its self-confidence from the Weimar Republic! But wasn't that also a time of the slow rise of the Hitler Party? This film list tries to live up to the longing for a Berlin of the golden 20s - and possibly also to drive the myth a little behind...
