Directors taking part in two
UK film seasons believe separation is becoming more prevalent
Thirty years on from the fall of the
Berlin Wall, film-makers who documented life on either side say divides between communities are becoming more prevalent, from
Brexit to tensions at the US-Mexico border.
The subject of the Berlin Wall and its effect on East and West Germans is being explored in two film seasons: the Barbican’s Borders and Boundaries, and Home in Manchester’s Beyond the Berlin Wall, which focuses exclusively on female directors.
