The Wild West that was West Berlin

World Update

Available for over a year

Berlin in the 1980s was a time of wild parties and artistic creation - and a new documentary gathers the work of over 70 filmmakers to capture the essence of the city during that heady decade before the wall came down. BMovie, Lust and Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989 features unseen footage of musicians like Nick Cave and New Order. It was made by English musician Mark Reeder, who began by talking about bringing Joy Division to Berlin for their first gig (Photo: Virgin Shop Listening Station, West Berlin.
