an end of the city's techno music revolution. fail and in our series meet the germans rachel stewart talks us through a raft of english words that get lost in translation someone in germany to switch up. but 1st we start on a far away stage in the world's 2nd largest film market the 22nd shanghai international film festival is currently on until june 24th that's one of the biggest film festivals in asia. and although its main priority is to promote the development of the chinese film industry it does have an international panorama section that gives foreign directors valuable exposure. for instance germany's stefan sic who's documentary the inner light is on the official program a gentle exploration of life for people with dementia 6 film which premiered here at the belly nala in february offers a poetic interpretation of

a special state of being and it's one that he hopes will reduce fears of dealing with a disease that affects nearly 10000000 people in europe. 1st 1st film as a director stefan xix spent time observing the residents of an old age home in st garde patients with dementia go about their lives. with. the director says he wanted to capture the perspective of the residents themselves. no interviews in the film and no commentary instead we get lingering shots often several minutes long we're asked to imagine the inner life of people whose minds are lost to us. from the charlotte monday.

it was extremely important to me how we look at the thing it's for me it was about experiencing things with the patients and not be told look here this is how you have to think about this and this is what you should feel if. we are told but maybe can imagine that men for it for it's the main character in the film was once a carpenter. his body still remembers how to work a wood table with care and precision. so so. the inner light is a quiet gentle film that gives its subjects back

a form of dignity. it finds humanity and even humor in lives with dementia. i'm very proud of you. the. mind of it's. something.

well this week in her wonderful musings on the idiosyncrasies of germans and life in germany my colleague rachel stuart is talking about english words that the germans use incorrectly now there are quite a few of these that make us english speakers scratch our heads and don't be surprised or even shocked when you hear a word that would usually get bleeped in english television coverage curious now here goes with meet the germans. and others that are all over the place in germany failed it in from a nation of point human results but that not everyone is happy about these linguistic invaders particularly of a perfectly good german already exists but surely even worse already more bizarre is the use of english words that even native english speakers when understand. here

is an english word that the germans use wrongly. let's kick off with the classic example. in english handy means useful in german this is a handy i mean you do hold it in your hand but by that logic this would be a handy and this would be a handy. this is a great one is a little bit morbid public viewing injured lots of people gathering public space what something one of the 3 uses for. public viewing in english visiting a dead person has been laid out in a. flexible working is all the rage right now and that means not necessarily being in the office all the time while in india she would say i'm working from home the preferred expression in germany is a home office all about him home office and in the u.k. home office means something different entirely about the government department what

a reason they use to work. in english wellness means the state of being well but it's not exactly a word you hear in conversation very often but in german wellness is a very popular word it's a sort of catch all term for this boss foreigner experience. held offering wellness packages maybe even a particularly healthy wellness menu. the germans her love a good shit storm not in the general english sense a bit less the or unpleasant situation but in a very specific german sense of a social media backlash and a medical has even casually dropped this word on more than one occasion should phone much to the shock of the english language media. circles about one will be back soon with more english words the germans use roughly the event.

so here's a fun fact the word shitstorm has actually made it into the german equivalent of the oxford english dictionary and that would be the do and as soon as a word is included there well it's frequent use in conversation is of course more than justified so hopefully we'll have no shitstorm over the fact that we featured it here today. well as if berlin didn't get enough flak for its never ending airport project which continues to defy completion more than 7 years after its originally planned opening and now we have a delay on the cultural front. berlin is one of the city's most ambitious building projects as it involves the partial reconstruction of the former palace that belonged to the dynasty of kings. and it was built to house a series of museums that will focus on world cultures anthropology and ethnology and was supposed to open this fall but due to some technical issues it's been postponed until next spring. but even if the whole thing is still under

construction it's just acquired its 1st object for display namely the giant metal entrance door to a legendary techno club from post fall of the wall berlin and it's a door with a history as turbulent as that of the city itself. in the early nineties perlin techno music meant nights that went on forever one club set the tone legendary world famous. name which means all german chosen the dance floor was once the fault of the department store. door that once marked the entrance to berlin's tech no temple now has pride of place in this other was barren exhibition space organizers are doing their best to hype the importance of this metal portal. for us this is what the bust of net for tittie is for the egyptian museum might even use the words mona lisa.

the door also tells the story of berlin in the 1920 s. it sealed off the treasures of that time department store unlike cigar plots of the time one of the most luxurious cathedrals of capitalism. when the nazis came to power they forced their times jewish owners to sell the store was area nies some of the family escaped into exile 3 were murdered at auschwitz. the store's owner of that time died in berlin in 1939 after decades of legal wrangling leave at a time descendants finally receive compensation in 2017. for a younger generation however this store is a symbol of the new global germany that emerged following greenough occasion in 1900. 91 time to call it is that it wasn't just east and west coming together it was also black and white there was this incredible inspiring energy coming from all these people coming together it changed the whole idea of for lives suddenly it

wasn't the city of the berlin wall of the city of the 3rd reich it was a joyful happy city was just to my uncles on one side it's on the food dish. opened in 1901 detroit d.j.'s like jeff mills and baxter came to berlin helping to turn the city into the international capital of electronic dance music. fans still reminisce about spend lots is legendary open air parties in the so-called has or garden for lin became a hedonistic player is getting frequent we partied through the night anyone complained we jam to the baltic sea and you will see the ship where their time once stood is now a shopping mall on the trees or has been converted into office space the club has moved to another less pricey part of the city the freedom of 1911 has been driven out by the centuries of corporate capitalism. the picking of underground playgrounds will leave you with some impressions from the italian capital rome
