November 9, 1999: ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The strip where the structure once stood is now Europe's largest construction site, with 50,000 new buildings completed. The Wall is gone, but its imprint remains. Like an archaeological dig, AFTER THE FALL searches for traces of the Berlin Wall within the people who lived in its shadow. Stories of frustration, fear and dreams uncover the remains of this absurd border, excavating memories out of a collective act of forgetting.
Premiere: Global Voices, June 22, 2008 at 10 PM
"AFTER THE FALL is a beautiful film about the disappearance of an ugly construction...The imagery and the music make the film a poetic experience. The ballet of cranes and the sensation of bulldozers in the blue light of nocturnal construction sites at Potsdamer Platz may be a fresh memory—but such beautiful violin tones were never heard to accompany them."
- Berliner Zeitung
"This film tells the story as if it were a fairytale, as oompah music eerily clashes with brash carousel tunes."
- Time Out London
