Dance, dance or we are all lost!

What a joy: Wim Wender’s PINA is nominated for an Oscar award in the documentary category. Although the Oscars aren’t necessarily a symbol of artistic quality to me, I can’t deny a certain interest in those films that made it onto the short list of nominations. And PINA would actually deserve the award. On the occassion of this nomination, I’ll write about PINA and other wonderful documentaries focussing on dance this week.

The Weekly Art Guide

by Maria Brunner in Face / OFF, Galerie Gebrüder Lehmann

Bonjour everyone! This week, Berlin’s weather couldn’t be worse, but fortunately there are lots of events inviting us to forget the world outside: The Mindpirates are celebrating with Lionel Williams and Raz Ohara, Jorinde Voigt shows works from the last seven years and several group shows are opening. Finally, a Sunday flea market enables a perfect escape from both hangover and the rain. While Frank enjoys the Paris Fashion Week and travels around the globe, I will do my best acting for him as your iHeartBerlin art guide for the next six weeks. See my first guide after the jump…

Me in Films

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.

The Weekly Event Guide

Lionel Williams

Of course this week there is much more going on besides Fashion Week. As the BFW guide took so much of my time I will keep this one a little shorter than usual. Also this is going to be my last Weekly Event Guide in a while. As I am going on a long trip I won’t have time to keep you up to date until March. So my friend Anna-Lena from artfridge is taking over for the next six weeks giving you the new Weekly Art Guide in place of the normal event guide. For all events other than art please check into Suz’s Thursday party guide and on our Facebook page. Have a look at the non-fashion-related events of this week after the jump.

The Berlin Fashion Week Event & Party Guide

Von Bardonitz

It’s Fashion! It’s Madness! It’s Fashion Madness! You could also call it Berlin Fashion Week. What a treat! Of course for you this is only semi-interesting as the majority of events is only dedicated to fashion journalists, buyers, business people and those who interned in the right agency. But look how wrong you are! There is a big amount of events and parties that are open to the public or have a public registration page. Halleluja!! So all of you fashion enthusiasts can be part of the big fat fashion week. Take a look into our fancy ass Berlin Fashion Week guide, focused on avant-garde and young designers and events related to that scene, after the jump! Also, check out ArtBerlin for more tips.

The Weekly Event Guide

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…

The Weekly Event Guide

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.
