of Labour" is the second part of the online film series, which this year focuses
on Berlin-Siemensstadt as a working-class neighborhood. It engages with the
changing concept and understanding of labour in the fields of artists’ films and
videos against the backdrop of the upcoming project Siemensstadt 2.0, which was
jointly initiated by the Siemens company and the Berlin Senate, and comprises an
urban and social restructuring process for Siemensstadt on a massive scale
(projected to run until 2030). The series KINO SIEMENSSTADT is named after the
former cinema at Nonnendammallee 96 in Berlin-Siemensstadt, which from 1931
until 1962 was one of the few entertainment venues for Siemens workers and their
families. Curated by Olaf Stüber and Jaro Straub Further information on the film
