Magical History Tour – Sound in Film
When it comes to the movies, sound is the picture's unsung sidekick. We get so wrapped up in the visuals, it's often easy to miss the sweeping soundtrack that's helping to transport us out of reality and into that magical realm of cinema. Jacques Tati's Playtime is one of the best examples of a film where sound is a star player. See the French flick Monday when it screens as part of Arsenal's “Sound in Film” series.
Price: €6.50
Location: Kino Arsenal,
Potsdamer Strasse 2
Times: Various; Playtime screens Monday, August 13 at 7:30pm
Tickets: 030 26955 100

Frank Höhne – Bockumenta 1
It's hard to ignore the humour in Frank Höhne's illustrations. There's something about his faces, their expressions maybe, that are just funny. But the German artist's really interesting works are the ones that combine text, line drawings, and painted doodles into analytical collages that nod toward surrealism and street art. Shake the artist's hand Thursday when his first solo exhibition opens at Gestalten Space.
Price: Free
Location: Gestalten Space, Sophie-Gips-Höfe
Sophienstrasse 21
Times: Thursday, August 9, 6-9pm (Opening); Sunday – Friday, Noon-8pm ; Saturday, 10am-8pm; through September 16 (Regular Hours)
