Der Flaneur von Berlin

Directed by Manfred Wilhelms

In 1999, Manfred Wilhelms met the then 82-year-old photographer Henry Ries in front of the Brandenburg Gate, where he—carrying a box full of photos of Berlin—was looking for traces of old Berlin and finding construction sites everywhere. This encounter gave rise to “Henry Ries – The Flâneur of Berlin,” a narrative about two cities.
