Have you ever wondered about the people you see on the subway? Who are these people, and where are they going? I’m unsure if Alex Soloviev had this in mind when he put together his short movie about Berlin called Everyday Berlin.
I’m not sure if this was his idea, but it was the first thing that came to my mind once I started watching it.
Everyday Berlin is a short film made of fleeting moments that give an impression of how life is in Berlin. You can only feel that day-to-day life after being in a place for a while. Sometimes, it feels more like a visual poem about a city I love.
Sometimes, it feels like a window to a life that I will never be able to see for myself. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t know the style, the visuals, and the storytelling, and I wish I could cut something like this.
Even though Alex Soloviev’s movie is focused on people and their lives, he shows a lot of Berlin in it. Some familiar sights, like the amazing Museum Island and Scholß Charlottenburg, appear and make you fall in love with Berlin a little bit more.
There is even a small piece of Wrinkles of the City from JR in the street in Mitte!
If you liked the movie here, you must know that Alex Soloviev didn’t stop with Everyday Berlin. On his Vimeo channel, you can see his impressions of other cities, such as Paris, Vienna, and many more.
