TimeMap Berlin

This time, I will suggest a different trip across Berlin.
There are four time options: 1869 - 1893 - 1926 - 1957.
Up to you to make the choice. The final discovery: the history of the places and streets.
I am terribly sorry, but was not prepared to take some pictures. Maybe a next time.
Anyway, a(nother) smart idea to promote the city and raise the interest in its history.

Jonathan Franzen, lecture about birds

My week-end was very social, with lots of human interactions. Will reconnect with myself soon and will start writing and posting more photos and words.

One of the intellectual news of the last two days, is Jonathan Franzen's lecture about birds. A lecture held party in a very sophisticated and elitist German.

Bis bald!

New pictures from the Festival of Lights

Today, I checked the Festival of Lights in Gendarmenmarkt

and near Zoologische Garten:

Curious, of course, about other locations.

5. ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival

Kino Babylon Mitte is hosting from 14 to 17 October 5. ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival. For the competition of the best poetic movies were sent more than 900 films from 71 countries, from films to children to horror and erotic films. The new elements of this 5th edition: the increased role of the poets in presenting directly their works to the filmmakers, the presentation of the results of the collaboration between Israeli filmmakers and German poets and the works of students from German film schools in transforming the words of poems into images.

I have been today evening at the opening of the exhibition of the Dutch artists eddie d, Matt Hulse and Pim Zwier "Public Poetry Matters", a visual protests against the anti-poetic trends of current politics (case-study, the artists' country).

Movies from Uruguay

In the period 11-25 October (one movie the week, every Monday, from 20 o'clock), Kino Babylon Mitte is hosting several contemporary movies from Uruguay, under the organization of Instituto Cervantes Berlin. Can you mention one single movie from this Latin American country? Let's say "Whisky"...Ready for the tour?
