This footage, shot by Ingeborg Euler, gives a somewhat spooky glimpse of the Berlin borough of Kreuzberg in 1979, and was originally broadcast on 3sat. Kreuzberg — then part of West Berlin — was surrounded on three sides by East Berlin, and the film gives a sense of the enclave-like nature of Kreuzberg life at the time, including shots of the river and the Oberbaumbrücke — at that time part of the Berlin Wall. The music is by Brian Eno, from Ambient 4.
Can’t see it, GEMA won’t let me!
Ah crap. Ok, hopefully you and all GEMA-afflicted readers should be able to see this version on Vimeo instead, if necessary.
Here’s the whole thing: http://vimeo.com/34204448
