Film

Hallo Berlin

Director

Werner Wollek

Year

1979

In this film, the camera rediscovers West Berlin in a lively and surprising way, with refreshingly unconventional, sensitive, and spontaneous images. Ingrid Steeger, the well-known Berlin television actress, cycles through the city as a poster sticker and, as a "cute Berlin brat," spins a tourist orientation thread with charm and wit. Another Berlin veteran accompanies her: Harald Juhnke maintains contact with the viewer as a commentator in a conversational tone. This film is a charming invitation to West Berlin that is hard to resist, because this city is a lively metropolis: spacious, green, romantic, and lovable.
