Anhalter

In February 1959, a man enters the empty Anhalter Bahnhof, a railway station set for demolition, and becomes immersed in memories and visions. This animated film uses movement, language, and sound to create a dense portrait of the setting and the man’s lonely personality. The Anhalter Bahnhof, a Berlin landmark damaged in the war, operated until 1952 before being demolished. The film reflects on the forgotten, memory-filled city of West Berlin in the 1970s.
