Film "JUNK SPACE BERLIN" (Juri Padel, Berlin, 2022)
An inexplicable rift runs through the dystopian Berlin of tomorrow, in which four outsiders venture on a mission to find their missing friend Billie. But where does Billie's trail lead?
In the Berlin of tomorrow, where people live like rats, a crack opens up in the ground and divides the city in two. When the obscure Billie goes missing, no journey is too far and no secret too forbidden for her friend Marion to find her. She can convince the hacker Blue to attach herself to Billie's digital trail, which is lost somewhere in the rift. So Marion shoulders her Prepper backpack, ignores Blue's doubts and Akira's warnings, and makes a shady deal behind her friends' backs with the sinister Bird, who has forbidden but indispensable knowledge. And already Marion, Blue, Akira and Bird penetrate deeper and deeper into the crack, and thus also into the marginal deviation from reality.
With international actors, the author Vera Schindler, the musician Tommi Tokyo aka Tot Onyx and a young programmer, we have realized a multi-layered film format. Alternating between drama, mystery and science fiction, it is also about a socially critical examination of the digital world. With her retro-futuristic electro-punk sound, Tommi Tokyo aka Tot Onyx combines the subversive atmosphere of Berlin's transitional era at the end of the 1980s with the international club culture of the 21st century, which came to a standstill in the Corona pandemic.
In commemoration of the special history of this city, we are creating a first "subversive" place in the ongoing Corona crisis with JUNK SPACE BERLIN, where the "new" people can experience their future wonderland.
