Berlin is now oat milk, private equity, and industrial-chic AirBnBs.
Thinking of crashing in a gluten-free Airbnb this summer and finding yourself at Berghain? Think again. This is your humorous travel guide to UNESCO Techno Island East Berlin – a city caught between squatter rave utopia and real-estate gentrification. From €400 flats to dog-biscuit-factory nightclubs this documentary exposes the absurd contradictions of the techno capital of Europe. What started as free art and illegal parties in the cold war is now an Airbnb-friendly industrial-chic circus of loudspeakers and private equity firms. Clubs featured (from outside): Berghain, KitKat, Sisyphos, Tresor, Kater, Wilde Renate, RSO, About Blank, and raves in random front gardens.
