The Walled Cities event series returns with a unique theme for 2022: the impact of conflict on animals and children.

This is the first film showing the story of the Wall and the reunification of Germany seen from such an unusual perspective - from the rabbits' point of view.

As if the green belt between the two walls was designed for those animals - full of untouched grass, the predators stayed behind the wall and the guards made sure no one disturbed the rabbits. They had been living there for 28 years, enclosed but safe. With the fall of the Wall in 1989, the rabbits had to look for another place to live.

Rabbit à la Berlin is an allegorical, self-described "nature documentary about socialism" which brings together the history of Eastern Europe as seen from the rabbits' unique perspective.

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Dr Gul Kacmaz Erk, senior lecturer in Architecture at Queen’s University. Gul’s guest speaker is Hugh Odling-Smee. Hugh is a project manager at Film Hub NI and co-founder at Whittrick Press, with more than 20 years of experience in art management.

This event is part of CACity presents: Walled Cities 4, a short film season exploring political conflict in divided communities and walled cities around the world. Presented by CACity (Cinema and Architecture in the City) Collaborative Research Group in collaboration with Film Hub NI and Foyle Film Festival.

A CineArch interactive exhibition by MSc Advanced Architectural Design students, bringing cinema and architecture together, will take place in the QFT foyer between 6-27 April.
