The Berlin Symphony of Rhythm
Genres
Overview
The Berlin Symphony of Rhythm, a powerful 95-minute documentary by multiple award-winning Nigerian-German filmmaker Idris Aleshinloye, whose prior works Breaking Borders and Silent Scars have garnered international acclaim for their bold, human-centered storytelling. This emotionally charged film pulls back the curtain on Berlin’s vibrant street performance scene, revealing a world where captivating music and public artistry mask deeper societal tensions. Though Berlin is widely celebrated as a global cultural capital, the very artists who infuse its streets with rhythm and soul, many of them migrants or cultural minorities often face an often harsh and invisible struggle. Street performance remains technically illegal in many areas of the city, subjecting these musicians to fines, confiscation of instruments, and public hostility.

János Baksa-Soós, aka Prince January. A man who influenced those who influenced us. “Sometimes you have to make time for a whole life!” he said. He did, and we explored his incredible life. Starting from Zoltán Kodály, we fly over downtown KEX concerts, dive into the deepest recesses of Berlin punk and end up who knows where. Somewhere in the cosmos.

Set against the gritty, vibrant backdrop of Berlin, BERLIN LOOP tells the story of Fatma’s rapid entanglement with the city’s bike-theft mafia. Her meteoric rise to becoming the gang’s chief lock-picker brings initial success but quickly devolves into a perilous trap controlled by the gang’s ruthless leader. Fatma’s only escape lies in a mysterious portal she discovers in an abandoned countryside house, which sends her back in time to the pivotal moment before her first theft. Caught in an unrelenting time loop, Fatma refines her strategies, inspired by the Art of War, to dismantle the gang and reclaim her freedom.

Kinokinokino
What was cinema in the past? What is cinema today? Hamburg filmmaker Dennis Albrecht asked himself these questions as he sifted through material he had been collecting since a project idea in 2008. Since then, he has repeatedly taken cameras into cinemas that no longer exist. He shot commercials, short films or events at the Grindel-Kino, Streit's, Rialto and Savoy and many other Hamburg movie theaters. In these personal perspectives, we see many cultural places that have disappeared.

Mangas, une révolution française
2021 served as a revelation for the last holdouts: thanks to confinement and the “Culture Pass”, manga sales and streaming anime viewing hours have exploded. These are today the dominant cultural works among young people. In truth, the trend has already been present for at least ten years. However, not so long ago, criticisms were rife and politicians accused manga of all evils. For the first time, precursors and current generations, cartoonists and publishers, absolute fans and rappers speak about their passion for these comics from Japan.

5 Seasons of Revolution
Lina’s plan was simple. She wanted to become a camerawoman. She liked filming details of life and people around her, mainly during a bright sunny day in Damascus. But with the uprising in Syria, Lina was slowly absorbed into documenting the impact on people’s lives. It didn’t take long before events escalated, and arrests, torture, and potentially life-threatening situations became a reality for Lina to negotiate on a daily basis. She had to adapt. She invented personas and aliases. They each helped her navigate life under a new norm. What was a simple plan, turned into a complex web of identities, which seemed then a small price in exchange for her liberty to continue to hold the camera.
