FLORIAN OPITZ IM GESPRÄCH MIT MARION BRASCH
In the organizer's words:
"CAPITAL B" Between anarchy and sell-out. The history of Berlin from 1989 until today
"Good morning, Berlin, you can be so ugly, so dirty and gray." Peter Fox
In his book, documentary filmmaker, author and journalist Florian Opitz gives a voice to greats from the music world such as Peter Fox and Kool Savas, pioneers of club culture from Tresor to Bar 25 such as Dimitri Hegemann and Danielle de Picciotto. Former mayors Diepgen and Wowereit speak, as does the former squatter Andrej Holm. Scandal-ridden protagonists will also have their say, such as Klaus Landowsky, who as a banker and CDU parliamentary group leader was partly responsible for Germany's biggest banking scandal, or Thilo Sarrazin, who restructured the city budget with rigid austerity measures and maneuvered himself into the sidelines with racist and misanthropic statements.
On this evening,Florian Opitz will talk to some of the protagonists of his book about the burning question of who shapes the history of a city - those up there or us down here.
"Capital B" will be published on May 17, 2025 by Klett-Cotta Verlag, 400 pages
