Natura Urbana: The Brachen of Berlin

Urban Lab Films present one of the first UK screenings of Natura Urbana: The Brachen of Berlin by Matthew Gandy.

This prize-winning documentary tells the post-war history of Berlin through its plants, as we encounter an extraordinary variety of spontaneous vegetation from all over the world that has sprouted along railway lines, on street corners, and in the distinctive Brachen of Berlin. The changing vegetation serves as a parallel history to war-time destruction, geopolitical division, and the newest phase of urban transformation.
