Berlin Cinema Scene: Launch Party for Run Lola Run and Magazine Mag
The iconic Berlin classic, "Run Lola Run," directed by Tom Tykwer, is set to be screened at Fimmel @ Berliner Berg Brauerei on Thursday, August 29, at 20:00. This 1999 film, an international hit, follows the story of a young woman named Lola, who has 20 minutes to save her boyfriend, Manni, after he loses a bag containing 100,000 Deutsche Marks that belongs to a criminal.
"Run Lola Run" is a frenetic thriller that unfolds over multiple "runs" or iterations, each showing how Lola's choices and chance events affect the outcome differently. Lola races through Berlin to gather the money in time, encountering various obstacles and characters whose small actions ripple through each scenario. The story explores themes of fate, chance, and free will, using a kinetic editing style and techno soundtrack to emphasize urgency and energy.
The movie's narrative is cyclical and experimental, resetting after each attempt to showcase how tiny changes lead to dramatically different consequences for Lola and Manni. "Run Lola Run" is not just a thriller; it's a groundbreaking Berlin movie that sparked new life within the German film industry.
The screening will serve as the launch party for the new issue of a website, focusing on the running scene of Berlin. After the credits roll, there will be DJ sets for attendees to enjoy, followed by an opportunity to have a drink and socialize.
