Internationally renowned film director HENK HANDLOEGTEN will present two episodes of the successful TV series BABYLON BERLIN. It is based on a series of historical crime novels set in late Weimar Republic and early Nazi-era Berlin. At its center are the lives and investigations of the laconic police detective Gereon Rath and his charismatic assistant Charlotte Ritter. Hailed by the press as a " masterpiece" and "Cabaret on Cocaine" the series pays homage to the visual culture of the German avant-garde and explores the deep political rifts of the time. Its treatment of the rise of fascism is as erudite as it is timely. The episodes will be screened in German with English subtitles. After the screening, there will be an opportunity to discuss the series with HENK HANDLOEGTEN and ask questions.

The event is being held in cooperation with Dartmouth College.
