The London premiere of B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin comes at the end of the London Short Film Festival. B-Movie is a full-length feature, but why quibble when it’s the capital’s first chance to see this ecstatic celebration of Berlin music through the eyes of 
The producers were already preparing a film about the music scene in West Berlin when Reeder’s story became the red thread for the film. The critical moment came when he turned over his own collection of material: Super 8 films; tapes from The Tube and other British TV programmes; and material from films he had appeared in. By chance more than design, Reeder had found himself in the right places at the right times, and his multimedia scrapbook provided the core for a compelling narrative. Nick Cave, Blixa Bargeld, Gudrun Gut, Bettina Köster – many of the key artistic forces from those days appear in the assembled material, along with the music that defined that period. Woven together with dramatic recreations and forgotten footage, their stories are part of an unforgettable Cold War collage.
