Boddinale

Boddinale

Everybody knows Berlin’s international film festival Berlinale, but if you are looking for a more local underground film festival this month we highly recommend Boddinale. Now in its third year, Boddinale, at Loophole and Kaleidoskop on Boddinstr. Neukoelln, showcases a wide variety of independent films of which many are by local Berlin film makers. 5 – 15 February.

RAF

RAF exhibition

If you have taken a tour with us before, you may very well have been told about the Red Army Faction (RAF) aka Baader Meinhof Gang. This far left wing West German militant group, that existed from  1970 till 1998, was highly feared by many, but worshiped by others. Their fascinating history is one worth knowing more about and the current temporary exhibition at the German History Museum about the RAF is well worth a look. It runs until March 8th.
