    • Hansa Studios: By The Wall 1976-90 Hansa Studios: By The Wall 1976-90

    Mike Christie / United Kingdom / 2018 / 90 min / English

    Few studios have hosted as many excellent musicians as Hansa, Berlin. No other studio offers such a unique environment as this isolated building standing in the middle of the Potsdam Square, abandoned at the time, in West Berlin, only a few metres from the wall.

    The wall was portrayed in this very studio in the song Heroes by David Bowie, while, also at this location, his flatmate Iggy Pop discovered his Lust for Life and found the inspiration for The Passenger while using the U-Bahn and S-Bahn. U2’s album Achtung Baby was also recorded here. Hansa has been the birthplace of many other milestone albums by bands like Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Siouxsie and the Banshees, R.E.M., Supergrass and many others. The documentary shows how the studio—formerly known as a factory of German schlager music—turned into a place that defined a whole generation of global musicians.

    The film features Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Tony Fox Sales (the bassist of Iggy Pop and David Bowie), Gaz Coombes & Danny Goffey (Supergrass), Klaus Kruger & Johannes Schmöelling (Tangerine Dream), Mick Harvey, Thomas Wydler & Barry Adamson (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Fish & Steve Rothery (Marillion), Colin Newman & Graham Lewis (Wire) and others.

    Venom Gift

    Knud Leif Thomsen

    Friday, 13. 02. 2026 / 17:45 / Main Hall

    Thomsen’s Danish-style Teorema (1968) predating Pasolini’s is as double-edged as its title (gift meaning both “poison” and “married”). The director conceived it as a polemical tract against pornography and the moral decay of Danish society. But by filling it with nudity and hardcore snippets, he ironically paved the way for a censorship-free Denmark, which in 1969 became the first country to legalize pornography. The censors covered the explicit scenes with thick white crosses (making them somehow even more obscene). And it is precisely on such a historical 35mm print that we will have the pleasure to see the film!

    Six Swedish Girls in a Boarding School Sechs Schwedinnen im Pensionat

    Erwin C. Dietrich

    Friday, 13. 02. 2026 / 20:10 / Main Hall

    The first lady of French porno chic, Brigitte Lahaie, returns in the original instalment of the cheeky fan favourite Six Swedish Girls at a Boarding School—taking place before the young Swedes found employment at a gas station and well-deserved holidays in Ibiza and the Alps. Directed by the “Swiss Roger Corman”, Erwin C. Dietrich, the evergreen hit from our Socialist past and the once notorious erotic Kino Sloga is bursting at the seams with zany humour, mechanical invention, and healthy minds in oh, such healthy bodies.
