Berlin Based (2019)

Berlin's light, its smoky bars, its empty spaces: the people who live here value different things about the city. Vincent Dieutre profiles several artists who moved to Berlin after the Wall came down. He asks them about their reasons for coming and whether they plan to leave, showing how Berlin has become part of their personal stories, shaped by the city's history. Each artist shares their experiences and feelings, revealing what Berlin has taught them – a new way of expressing themselves, and the resilience to thrive in a challenging environment. The filmmaker explores the city from different neighborhoods, like a friendly guide.
