One Night in Berlin – Michael Mackrodt is a short film by Robin Pailler for Desillusion Magazine that follows the German pro skater as he goes underground to escape the cold of a Berlin winter.

Mackrodt first heads down into the S-Bahnhof at Potsdamer Platz and then skates around the passage between the station and the Potsdamer Arcaden shopping centre.

He later hops in a car and heads across town to the underpass between the ICC (Internationales Congress Centrum) and the ZOB (Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof Berlin – Berlin’s central bus station).  Here he skates among the pillars against a backdrop of bright orange tiles that has featured in numerous Hollywood films including Hanna and Unknown Identity.
