The Berlin Apartment brings a century of German history to life within the walls of a single apartment. Taking on the role of a craftsperson restoring its aging rooms, you will uncover traces left behind by former residents, finding love, loss, upheaval, and resilience. With every discovery, a new story unfolds with new characters, new atmospheres, and new moments in time. Meanwhile, the apartment itself remains unchanged, a silent witness at the center of a rapidly shifting world.

We will present the game in its entirety on the big screen, playing through the decades together. The live screening will be followed by a Q&A with the development team from Blue Backpack Games, offering exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into this remarkable project.

More about Gamerausch:

Gamerausch is a curatorial format at the intersection of cinema and game culture. Through regular events, it presents selected video games on the big screen and contextualizes them with conversations featuring guests from culture, academia, and game development. The format understands games as cultural works and creates a collective setting in which they can be experienced and discussed together.

In collaboration with partners such as A MAZE / Berlin, the Computerspielemuseum Berlin, and the film festival Doxumentale, it is part of a growing network connecting digital forms of storytelling with physical event formats. From 2025 to 2026, Gamerausch is part of the Incubation Programme of Futura Cinema.

More about Filmrauschpalast:

Since 1991, Filmrausch Moabit e.V. has been running the only cinema in Berlin’s Moabit district: located on the first floor of the Kulturfabrik on Lehrter Straße, it is entirely volunteer-run by people who love and live cinema.

The program stands for diversity: new releases and classics, arthouse and genre films, Asian cinema and Berlin film culture, experimental works and cult films. Technically up to date with Sony 4K projection, Filmrausch also regularly screens films on original 35mm and 16mm prints, and more recently on VHS. Every summer, the courtyard—nestled between brick walls and railway tracks—transforms into an open-air cinema.
