(1998) is an early film by Hito Steyerl that shows the flipside of gentrification as it sweeps through cities and the dense but vacant spaces left by history. David Riff will introduce this classic of activist filmmaking and ask whether Steyerl’s narrative of Potsdamer Platz could somehow be related to the changes on Moscow’s Golden Mile.
The project is realized as part of the International Cultural Programme of the Polish EU Presidency coordinated by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
The project is cofinanced by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.
