Junk Space Berlin

A dystopian Berlin of the near future: a mysterious rift runs through the city, dividing it - literally and metaphorically. When the artificial intelligence Billie disappears into this rift, her friend Marion (Otiti Engelhardt) embarks on a dangerous search for Billie's digital trail. She is supported by former hacker activist Blue (Tamara Semzov) and her friend Akira (Selin Kavak). The journey takes them deep into Berlin's underworld, where they encounter bizarre characters, a disused server room and a mysterious homeless woman. The closer they get to Billie, the more the boundaries between reality and digital illusion become blurred. Visually and narratively, Juri Padel's film is an experimental trip through a fragmented world that explores themes such as social division, digitalization, artificial intelligence and identity politics. Elements of science fiction, mystery and theater combine to create an intense, partly AI-generated film experience.
