War Scarred Berlin

Running time: 4'32”

Production: DE 2015

The bullet holes of war are omnipresent. Especially now, when Germany is becoming a magnet thst attracts war refugees, these scars should be reminded of. Mute stones suddenly start screaming and bursting into the modern, peaceful reality of Berlin. It transpires that the echoes of the Second World War can still be heard in the streets of the German capital. In a very evocative way, using digital effects, the film shows how history influences present times.
