If Not Us, Who (Wer wenn nicht wir)
US West Coast Premiere
In Person: Director Andres Veiel
Directed by Andres Veiel; Winner of the 2011 German Film Awards Best Film (in Bronze) and the Alfred Bauer Prize following its World Premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival: "Based on the emotional true story of an explosive era! In the early 60s, Bernward Vesper and fellow university student Gudrun Ensslin begin a passionate love in the stifling atmosphere of provincial West Germany. Sensitive to the increasing restlessness of the times, the fiery couple lashes out at the conformism and denial around them. After their tumultuous relationship nearly ends due to Bernward's infidelities, they start a new with a move to West Berlin in 1964. Joining forces with leftist writers and political activists, they become part of the spreading global uprising: "If not us, who; If not now, when?" But discontentment with the world takes its toll on their tumultuous relationship. By the late 60s, Gudrun has joined rebellious Andreas Baader's pro-violence cause and Bernward risks his sanity by using psychedelic drugs in his struggle to write a novel committed to changing the world"
At 9:30 pm following the film, Berlin & Beyond celebrates Closing Night with a party on the Castro Theater Mezzanine. Revelers are invited to celebrate another innovative festival's close with a selection of cocktails and a sampling of local cuisine while they mingle with stars and special guests.
