Mauerzeit In the West by The Junge Wilde

I created this documentary to contribute to my senior thesis at New York University. My thesis analyzes the social and cultural circumstances of Kreuzberg, Berlin during the presence of the Berlin Wall through the lens of Neo-Expressionist painting created there. The documentary trades academic and objective historical language for dialogue that centers around the subjective perspectives expressed in the paintings of the artist group The Junge Wilde. Interviews with an art historian and a Junge Wilde artist, among others, are paired with narration to steer the conversation from topics like sightseeing and its fallacies to art history interpretation and personal accounts of 1980's Kreuzberg.
