killer.berlin.doc

Shortly before the turn of the millennium, they filmed killer.berlin.doc: In May 1998, 10 people decide to turn their lives in Berlin into fiction for 14 days in order to tell the story of their own lives in a changing city. They play 'Killer', a game in which no one knows about the others and everyone is both perpetrator and victim. The task is to find a predetermined person, who is not known to the player, and come up with the perfect 'murder' for the 'victim'. Knowing that someone is following their own tracks at the same time, the players set off in search of the unknown person. “killer.berlin.doc is a multifaceted documentary with fictional elements, a subjective portrait of an artist, an architectural film of a rare beauty about Berlin in transition, a polyphonic diary about two weeks in May 1998. Aesthetically convincing, the filmmaker collective combines various filming techniques [...]. Berlin is at once a blue-tinged dreamscape, a projection of different desires, a jumble of the most diverse architectures.” (Detlef Kuhlbrodt)
