This memorable documentary about the deconstruction of the Berlin Wall has been described as unconventional, poetic and enigmatic – it makes no use of vocal commentary but instead focuses on visual elements. From the Potsdamer Platz to the Brandenburg Gate, the camera captures the historic events from all sides and different angles: on the one hand, there are news reporters and tourists from all over the world taking pictures, children selling pieces of the wall to passers-by, and people celebrating New Year's Eve; on the other, we see abandoned subway stations and officials with blank looks on their faces. Directed by painter and filmmaker Jürgen Böttcher, The Wall won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1991.
