with Markéta Pilátová (writer), Alessandro De Vito (editor and translator) and Massimo Tria (film critic)

Who doesn't know Bata shoes? Many think that it is an Italian brand, but actually Bata started as a simple shoemaker in a Moravian town, and expanded its business to many countries to become the multinational that it is today. The Czech writer, journalist and translator Markéta Pilátová speaks of 120 years of shoes, from Czechoslovakia to the whole world, passing via the Brazilian jungle: the story of the worldwide success of the family and the Bata brand, in the name of freedom.

Berlin Bouncer tells the story of Berlin, from a divided city to the party metropolis of today, through the eyes of its most legendary doormen. Frank Künster came in the 1980s to study in Berlin while Smiley Baldwin was still guarding the wall as an American GI. Behind the wall lived Sven Marquardt, a young punk and photographer. When the Wall came down, nightlife took control over their lives. Still today they play a decisive role in the city’s never ending nights as bouncers of Berlin’s most popular clubs, like Berghain.
