I Stayed in Berlin All Summer

‘Ich bin den Sommer über in Berlin geblieben’, G 1994, directed by Angela Schanelec, 48 min, with English subtitles, rating: 12 

Four young people go in search of their identity and each other: A writer is working on a story about her past relationship when her ex-partner comes to visit. Another couple crosses their paths, and new connections are formed. In Angela Schanelec’s work, constellations remains in a state of flux – not only between people, but also between reality and imagination. In the post-Wall era of upheaval, Berlin offers the perfect backdrop to this open take on life and approach to living. 

Featuring: Tobias Lenel, Isabel Karajan, Wolfgang Michael, Angela Schanelec
