It’s Friday, it’s Day 5 of Video Week and here’s a video of Stroke Urban Art Fair 2012 in Berlin, another of my highlights of the year. I found it hard to edit my photos of the event so it’s great to be able to share more of the inspiring art that was on display. […]
Day 4’s offering for Video Week is An Approximation To Berlin by Transistoria, a visual Travel Guide to Germany’s capital. The graphics in the video helpfully give links to the sights highlighted. A minor mistake at 3:04 when Friedrichstrasse is captioned as Hauptbahnhof can be forgiven for such a beautifully shot video of Berlin. An […]
The Festival of Lights 2012 was one of my highlights of the year and on Day 3 of my Video Week, Festival of Lights 2010 by Matthias Makarinus shows just how spectacular this annual event in Berlin is. If you’re planning a trip to Berlin in autumn, the Festival of Lights 2013 will be lighting […]
The second instalment in my Video Week is Kinetic by Klesha Production. This incredible video, shot in Berlin, employs a technique called Cinemagraph, which I’m sure I could read a lot about if I googled it but I don’t want to take the magic and mystery away.

I find that getting other people’s perspectives on Berlin, whether in the form of blog posts, newspaper articles or videos, helps me to discover new things in the city and keeps me looking at familiar spots with fresh eyes. On the weekend I spent a couple of hours trawling Vimeo for Berlin content and I’d like […]
Real Scenes – Berlin by Resident Advisor, like a previous Sunday Documentary post, Children of Berlin, explores the explosion of Techno in Berlin after the fall of the wall. People who lived through and shaped the development of the Techno scene in Berlin discuss the factors that led to the city becoming the go-to destination […]
I don’t know much about the German music scene but I’ve heard the name Cro, so when the video for Einmal um die Welt (Once Around The World, for English speakers) popped up as a YouTube suggestion I decided to give it a click. And I’m glad I did. The catchy blend of Rap and […]
I’ve had First Aid Kit – Hard Believer bouncing around in my head since I saw the band walking around the DDR Museum in Berlin yesterday afternoon. Sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg are from Stockholm, though you wouldn’t know they’re Swedish to hear them sing or talk. It’s almost as if they are channelling the […]
I was more than a little surprised to hear Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly – Find The Time playing as I walked along the aisles in Kaiser’s the other day. I guess someone must have picked up on the line ‘Or to move to Kreuzberg and escape into the night’ and decided it would be […]
The Berlinische Galerie, Berlin’s Museum of Modern Art, Photography and Architecture, has posted the video Berlinische Galerie: The Shuttered Society. Art Photography in the GDR 1949-1989 on its YouTube channel. As stated in the ‘About’ section of the video on YouTube: The Berlinische Galerie is to stage the world’s first comprehensive exhibition of art photography […]
