Film Screening: Summer in Berlin

Posted: March 15, 2010

BalkonAs part of the CCGES Film Series, we are pleased to present a free screening of Summer in Berlin, an enchanting comedy, full of human warmth, sincerity and delightful humor – a film about life. The film will be shown on Monday, March 22nd at 2:30 pm in room 749, York Research Tower (building #95 on the map found here).

Written by Wolfgang Kohlhaase, who this year won the Live Time Achievement Award at the Berlinale, and directed by Andreas Dresen, Summer in Berlin is the story of two girlfriends, who, from their balcony – between heaven and earth – gaze down at their turbulent and difficult universe. Nike has a job as nurse, Katrin has a son, Ronald drives a truck, Tina’s a waitress, Oskar and Helene are old and alone. At the beginning, middle or end of their lives – they all ask the same question: Can love last through the seasons? Or is it something affecting the brain that just comes and goes?

All are welcome and the film will be shown in German with English subtitles.

Time: 2:30-4:30 pm
Location: 749 York Research Tower
