Lindower Straße 20/22, Haus C, 13347 Berlin
Sinema Transtopia on Lindower Straße in Wedding is a curatorial project rather than a cinema in the usual sense, using film to examine migration, diaspora and transcultural experience. Screenings are staged as events, with conversations, readings and artistic interventions around them. The programme draws on cinema from across the globe, often work by filmmakers whose perspectives come out of displacement or cultural hybridity.
Twelve-year-old best friends, Ish and Maram wrestle to hold onto their friendship, in the wake of a traumatic police stop & search. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how ‘letting go’ can be the hardest part of growing up.
