Busy Saturday in Berlin 2 - River Walk and Second Movie

We had time to kill before the second movie so we walked along a small river, a canal almost.  There were lots of people there, lots of beer. 

Now we're in Görlitzer Park where lots of people were taking advantage of a warmish (it was one of those days where it seems warm in the sun and chilly in the shade) Saturday.  This group brought along their water pipes.

This was on the back of the building above.

This is the Görlitzer Subway station.

The movie was being shown in a building that had been taken over by squatters in the early 90s.  This is in the old East Berlin.  It had been rotting inside and was vacant, and unowned, I was told.  The squatters totally redid the insides and eventually gained title to the building.  Today, I was told, there are 22 people living here including 7 children.  This is where M's friend lives.

Here's a hallway I took to get to a restroom.

Here's the huge communal kitchen.  It reminded me of the kitchen in the Russian movie Hipsters that showed in the Anchorage [NOT Alaska] International Film Festival in December. 

And here's the room we saw the movie in.  It was video of a river in Jakarta, totally polluted with garbage.  As the scene moves along the river, the narrator reads from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.  Then we got the U-Bahn and S-Bahn home.
