Venue
The film series will take place over two days at the Colosseum. The Colosseum, located on Schönhauser Allee, not far from the former border, is one of the city's most traditional cinemas. With over 500 seats (the smaller hall for the 10 November screening has 160 seats), it was the first cinema in East Berlin to show premieres. The hall was reconstructed in the style of the 1960s, which gives the venue an authentic setting for the film festival.
