Since 1957, Erika and Ulrich Gregor have been travelling the world to track down exceptional films and bring them to Berlin. They founded the “Friends of the German Cinematheque” and, with the “Arsenal”, the first non-commercial cinema in Germany, which is considered to be a blueprint for German arthouse cinemas, established the “International Forum of Young Cinema” at the Berlinale and have been writing cinema history to this day. Alice Agneskirchner associatively links film history, German and Berlin contemporary history, and in addition to the Gregors, meets numerous contemporaries. (Joachim Kurz)
