Entertainment
Films entertain and take us to another world. They move and sometimes motivate to rethink, review and possibly even adjust the way we look at the world. Starting next Tuesday I will present new films, films on current topics or films for a certain mood each week. But I wanted to start by introducing myself first. I would have described myself differently yesterday than I would today, so I decided to use films that changed me instead of static verbs.
Whenever I walk into a cinema I get really calm and as soon as the film starts I forget about the world surrounding me and are all-alone with the flickering images. Some films really got a hold of me and released me back into my world with a truly new perspective. I remember all four situations very clearly and like to think back, but all films I do not want to watch again. Out of fear of ruining the memory, respect for the momentum back then and the presumption that the catharsis cannot be reproduced. Strictly subjective the selection might leave you with an impression of who I am and certainly hint at what you can expect on Tuesdays on iHeartBerlin.
See this week’s selection after the jump.

We are often following the hypes of people we like. We follow the recommendations of our friends and enjoy things they like to do because in the end everything can be good and bad depending of your perspective. I heard so many beautiful stories of Nicolas Jaar concerts of people I trust blindly in their taste of music that I wanted to go in any case to the concert he was giving on Monday at Berghain. In the end I was a little disapointed. Not because it was bad, but just because it couldn’t measure up with the hype my friends build around it. For people who are less susceptible as I am I recommend definetly to check out one of his concerts for example tonight at Berghain.

Feeling attraction to an artist because of his work is kind of weird. After a while you can’t really say if the love you feel is bringing you to the point of not being objective anymore about the art itself. Nevertheless being in love with Mr. Pollesch, one of the most amazing theater directors on earth, has never let me doubt my taste in theater (and men). I was always struck down by lightning before, during and after every piece that I saw and I enjoyed them as other people would enjoy sex or drugs. So, is it relevant what the source of your pleasure is? Or is the pleasure itself the key element in our decisions of consumption. Now I can attend to my pleasures even digitally through Pollesch’s Blog.
If you can you should check out his new piece Kill Your Darlings, premiering on Wednesday at Volksbühne and promissing a lot of intelectual mindsex. Dates and details after the jump.

There is something about Friday the 13th you could say because the majority of this week’s events is taking place on that day. This would be a perfect candidate for a scandalous cover story: One night – TEN parties, haha! Anyone interested? Find out how to spend the week and what all the options are for Friday after the jump…

What better to do on a gloomy Sunday afternoon than to watch a neo-noir thriller short film such as Trigger by directors Roderick MacKay and Dave Stephens. Enjoy after the jump.

Helloooo 2012. We were thinking a lot if we should do a 2011 recap or a 2012 forecast. But, frankly I’ve seen quite enough of these on the big wide interdolly and I want to spare you yet another. So let’s get 2012 rolling with our event of the first week. We have the usual mix of art, movies, parties and other opportunities for a fun night after the jump.

A new year. A fresh start. Just like in the award winning stop-motion short film SEED that you can enjoy in all its morbid strangeness after the jump. Happy new year.

Oh my, how many times did you get asked what you are doing for New Year’s Eve these past days? So many parties, so many choices, but you don’t know what to do? Then we have a little surprise for you: We are inviting you to our iHeartBerlin New Year’s Eve House Party! Yes, all of you. We have invited six of our favorite DJs to give us the best music for the most celebrated night of the year: Hara Katsiki, Eliza Foxxx, Oh Sophia, Joey Hansom, Hannes Smith and Mate.
And where does the party take place? At YOUR house, silly! Our DJs made some exclusive mixes and mixtapes for your NYE house or warm-up party. We have something for everyone: party pop, indie rock, techno, electro, wave and old time classics. And to bring all of our iHeartBerlin readers into your house, we made the biggest iHeartBerlin party photo slideshow from our favorite parties of the past years.

In 2011, the number of techno record releases has increased significantly. Due to software such as Ableton it has become a Kindergarten game to produce electronic music. Nowadays everybody who can push a software button calls himself a producer.
However, quantity is not quality. Most of the electronic music that was produced in 2011 will be forgotten in 2012. Nevertheless, there were also a significant number of tracks this year that I will always remember. Have a look after the jump to see my very personal selection of the five best electronic tracks in 2011.

It’s Christmas Sunday and I guess the majority of us is stuck somewhere far away from Berlin with their family, possibly bored out of their minds and rolling from one big meal to the other and having to go through various horrible TV programs and annoying relatives. If that is the case for you, we have a little distraction for you: a selection of very diverse short films from all over the world about Christmas. Enjoy, after the jump.
