The Empty Center
Steyerl’s film traces the impact of an influx of transnational companies on the city dwellers of Berlin in post-reunification Germany. The effect of the changing economy and politics on the city and its inhabitants is echoed through their physical relocation to its outer edges. In 1990, squatters proclaim a socialist republic on the death strip. Eight years later, the new headquarters of Mercedes Benz are built in the same location. The film makes use of slow super-impositions to uncover a journey across changing architectural and cultural boundaries. "The Empty Centre" tries to give a voice and a history to those who continue to be marginalised by the simultaneous dismantling and reconstruction of the borders which they are trying to cross.

Reviews
Redundant and unnecessary.
Fresh and Exciting
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
