A meditation on emptiness: in images, in films, in cities, in places. Berlin viewed as a black and white hole; Wim Wenders walks around stooped over, Jean-Luc Godard makes statements, Jean Nouvel draws designs for future buildings. The director makes a static road movie: the fixed shots follow moving directions, the long takes follow the lines of perspective. Continuous movement is the only certainty.

In-depth analysis
About the Movie Berlin Cinema (Titre Provisoire)
«Quando si legge non è nelle parole, nelle linee scritte che risiede ciò che è interessante, ma è sicuramente nel bianco. (...) E ho sempre avuto questa idea di cinema: diventa interessante dove non c'è nulla. Il nulla tra le immagini...». (Wim Wenders)
«Architettura e cinema sono molto simili. Entrambi vivono attraverso una dimensione di tempi e percorsi». (Jean Nouvel)
