MARCH 14: BOOK LAUNCH AND EXHIBIT

The German Consulate in Toronto, Intellect Books, and the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies at York University welcome you to an evening of Berlin film, art and culture with the launch of World Film Locations: Berlin. Editor Susan Ingram, along with many local contributors to the volume, will be in attendance to discuss and sign the book.

“With the help of full-colour illustrations that include film stills and contemporary location shots, World Film Locations: Berlin cinematically maps the city’s long twentieth century, taking readers behind the scenes and shedding new light on the connections between many favourite and possibly soon-to-be-favourite films.”

The book launch is presented in conjunction with the multimedia exhibit Museumsinsel Berlin. Keeping the Past – Facing the Future. Berlin’s Museumsinsel (Museum Island) is host to an ensemble of museums, housing collections that span 6000 years of history. The exhibit explores the challenges that museums in Berlin face, as well as their impact on the surrounding urban space.

Plee join us at the German Consulate Toronto at 2 Bloor Street East, 25th Floor on March 14 at 5:00pm for the launch of World Film Locations: Berlin and Museumsinsel Berlin. Keeping the Past – Facing the Future. Light refreshments will be served.
