COLLECTION 2 - AVANT-GARDE

But in this case like in a good movie the story
has a happy ending and Babelsberg is still
producing some of the best film productions
these days. “The Pianist” (Roman Polanski,
2002), “The Ghost Writer” (Roman Polanski,
2010), “The Reader” (Stephen Daldry,
2008), “The International” (Tom Tykwer,
2009) or “Inglorious Basterds” (Quentin
Tarantino, 2009) are part of this factory of
dreams.
If you think of a place full of history, that
is Babelsberg. In Babelsberg they made us
believe we were in Berlin during World War
Two (“Valkyrie”, Bryan Singer, 2008), under
the bombs during Stalingrad war (“Enemy at
the Gates”, Jean-Jacques Annaud, 2001) or
even the exotic India (“Münchhausen”, Josef
von Báky, 1943). In this world of bad news
where companies are shutting down and
Governments are reducing cultural budgets
to its minimum expression, Babelsberg rises
as a magic box where everything is possible,
a white rabbit, a dove or even a Nazi soldier.
In Babelsberg, “Avant-garde” is not a word.
It’s simply a reality.
100 years are just the beginning.
Happy Birthday Babelsberg!!
