Berlin Alexanderplatz, introduced by Iain Sinclair and Chris Petit

Iain Sinclair and Chris Petit introduce the opening screening of Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980), the monumental series directed for German television by Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

This coming weekend (16-17 November) provides the final chance to see the complete 14 episode series screened from remastered 35mm prints - the first time in the UK this has happened. The event is part of Iain Sinclair's 70x70 project in which the author curates a season of 70 classic films throughout his 70th birthday year.

Listen to Iain Sinclair interviewed on BBC World Service about this unique event (starting from 45 minutes in - available until 17 November).
