Scored by Einstürzende Neubauten and featuring internationally acclaimed architects Rem Koolhaas, Renzo Piano and I.M. Pei, Berlin Babylon offers a rare glimpse into an international city under construction.

In a post-wall era, Berlin found itself as a metropolis in great need of physical change to fully realise the promise of reunification and to repair the destruction the 20th century had wreaked upon it.

With its astonishing aerial photography and subtle verité style, the film has a dreamlike quality that allows the viewer to float above and wander through of one of the world's great cities as it transitions into the future.

"One of the most spectacular architectural documentaries, a story of humankind's all consuming pride and ambition" Melbourne International Film Festival
