Lehrter Straße 35, 10557 Berlin
The Filmrauschpalast is a small independent cinema on Lehrter Straße in Moabit, a residential district surrounded on three sides by water, within walking distance of Berlin Hauptbahnhof. The name translates roughly as film intoxication palace and is worn with a wink. The arthouse programme is eclectic, from recent festival titles to overlooked films, and the operator often introduces the screening with a few words.

The film depicts a friendship between an Irish journalist in Kenya and a Rwandan woman, who pair up to combat the AIDS crisis in the 1990s.
Bobby drives back and forth between Vienna and Salzburg, giving lifts to strangers on the way, sharing conversations that drift from the mundane to the deeply personal. In this tender portrait of today’s Europe, anonymity and warmth still go hand in hand.
