FOOD AND FOOTAGE // The opposite of gray
ZK/U BerlinSiemensstr. 27, 10551, Berlin, Germany
Title: The Opposite of Gray (2017, 90 min)
Director: Matthias Coers
Language: German with English subtitles
Menu: Salad from the Himmelbeet garden
Fallow land, vacancy, anonymity, stagnation – not everyone living between Dortmund and Duisburg is willing to settle for that. On the contrary. More and more people are discovering opportunities to intervene in everyday urban life. A living room in the middle of the street, the neighbourhood, community gardens. Community houses and citizen initiatives emerge in the niches of the cities – independently, self-determined and together. ‘The Opposite of Gray’ shows different groups that live in practical utopias and open spaces, and fight for a solidary and ecological coexistence in an urban space.
DISCUSSION
Panel discussion with representatives of various community gardens and the director.
