Join us for a free screening of 'B-Movie,' a spirited documentary about the divided city's 1980s music subcultures, from punk to techno.

2015 Dir. by Jörg A. Hoppe, Klaus Maeck, and Heiko Lange 92 min. German with English subtitles A powder keg of music, art and chaos erupts in 1980s West Berlin, fueling a creative melting pot that influences subculture and pop culture far beyond its borders. This blistering documentary, featuring appearances by Nick Cave, Christiane F., Mark Reeder, Einstürzende Neubauten and even David Hasselhoff, fuses unreleased film footage and original interviews with an iconic soundtrack. Documenting the punk era, the early DJ scene, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, B-Movie is a gritty and glamorous journey through music culture and creative life in the divided city. This program accompanies <a href="https://goethe.de/shift" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shift: Music, Meaning, Context</a>, an exhibition produced in collaboration between Goethe-Institut Chicago and The Museum of Contemporary Photography currently on view at the Museum through August 6, 2023.
