Incredible flashback of early 80s Berlin subculture on an amazing DVD, Book and CD package featuring output by virtuosos of the city’s underground movie scene who rediscovered Super 8 as an adequate outlet for their creative endeavours. Accompanied by a compilation of music, covering a huge range of styles and currents - from punk to ingenious dilettantes, this lavish package recalls the walled in city’s unique feel and lifestyle. By no means a nostalgic review of times long gone, but rather an appraisal (with no claim to completeness) of a creative Berlin which to this day exerts its influence on underground culture throughout the world. Featuring “Die tödliche Doris”, “Einstürzende Neubauten”, “Malaria” and many others of the scene’s protagonists. Besides the DVD featuring elaborately restored Super 8 films (running time: approx. 120 minutes,), the luxurious package (special digipak in a slipcase) also contains a CD compilation of Berlin bands from the period of ’79-’84 as well as a 100 page book (in English) with lyrics, essays, background information and photographs by Peter Gruchot. In addition, the DVD itself features extensive bonus material: discographies and photo series (more than 250 photos!) plus rare interviews. Hand numbered, strictly limited copies in an international edition of only 5000 copies. Engrossing viewing. - Boomkat



A program of nine Super-8 shorts produced in Berlin's postpunk underground during the late 70s and early 80s. Amateurism abounds, but the cheap film format ably served the era's do-it-yourself aesthetic, and some pieces have an invigorating immediacy. Georg Marioth's Morgenesänge is a Chaplinesque comedy, and grainy, flickering music clips showcase bands like Malaria! and Die Todliche Doris. There's also some fascinating video shot at Berlin's influential club SO36, featuring Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Gelbs, and others. 65 min. - Peter Margasak
