Berlinale HUB75: Berlin on Film - A Conversation with Tom Tykwer

In the organizer's words:

Berlin has fascinated Tom Tykwer for decades and is a pivotal point in his much-praised film work - just think of his feature film debut Tödliche Maria, the polyamory drama Drei or Run Lola Run, which is one of the best-known Berlin films of the recent past. Structurally and urbanistically full of contrasts, chaotic and full of energy, this city continues to stimulate the director's unconventional imagination. With his latest work, The Light, which opens this year's Berlinale, he returns to his personal favorite place for radical cinema. In HUB75 he talks to journalist and Berlinale curator Jenni Zylka.

Tom Tykwer's longstanding fascination with Berlin has found a firm place in his illustrious filmography: from his debut feature Deadly Maria to the polyamorous tale Three and one of the ultimate Berlin films of recent decades, Run Lola Run. The city's architectural contradictions, its chaos and energy have been a fertile ground for the director's distinctive and idiosyncratic imagination. With his latest film Das Licht (Berlinale Opening Film in 2025), he returns to his favorite radical playground. In this conversation, he joins journalist and Berlinale curator Jenni Zylka for an in-depth discussion in HUB75.
