Making of: Babylon Berlin
The documentary takes you into the magical world of filmmaking and lets viewers participate in the creation of "Babylon Berlin": how did the idea arise, what difficulties had to be removed? Tom Tykwer, Henk Handloegten and Achim von Borries report on the collaboration as directors and authors of "Babylon Berlin". The main actors Liv Lisa Fries and Volker Bruch give an insight into their shooting experiences. Other speakers include actor Lars Eidinger, production designer Uli Hanisch, novelist Volker Kutscher and many others. A fascinating look behind the scenes of the series event.
1929 – The Year Babylon
"1929 - The Year of Babylon" tells the twelve months as a year of decisions. The country and the city are on the brink, the future is open, nobody knows where the journey is going. The First World War has been over for a good ten years, the defeat misunderstood, the republic a permanent state of emergency. History has granted it only four golden years. The splendour is based on pumping and already threatens to fade. There are 15 parties in the Reichstag, from the far left to the extreme right, each government is an impossible coalition.
Fall 1929 - Shadows over Babylon
The documentary for the third season "Babylon Berlin" +++ Autumn 1929: Just recently the Weimar Republic celebrated its tenth anniversary, when shadows are cast over Berlin. There are noisy scenes in the Reichstag, triggered by right-wing nationalists who have not gotten over the defeat of the World War and its consequences. Their leader: Alfred Hugenberg, who is among other things the head of Universum-Film-AG (UFA) and the most powerful publisher in the republic, who has bought an empire with the money from the heavy and armaments industries. His main enemy: Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann, who persistently struggles with the victorious powers to find compromises in the "Young Plan" - for a peaceful future for Germany in a united Europe.
