Narrated by British producer/musician Mark Reeder, B-MOVIE is a fast-paced essay film that blends archival footage, photos, and original interviews with dramatized scenes to illustrate Reeder’s account of the music, art and subculture in West Berlin of the 1980s. The walled-in city, which became a cultural inter-zone and creative melting pot for avant-garde sub- and pop- culture unlike anywhere else in Europe, attracted “brilliant dilettantes,” squatters, artists, musicians, and world-famous celebrities alike. Reeder left Manchester, England for Berlin in 1979 and soon found himself at the center of this dynamic cultural hub, meeting and often working with legendary bands and artists. Including interviews and archival footage from Joy Division, Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten), Die Toten Hosen, Nick Cave, Gudrun Gut, Die Ärzte, Nena, Christiane F. and Westbam, B-movie offers an intimate portrait of the constantly changing cultural constellations of the city, from the Geniale Dilletanten, to the Love Parade, and ending with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Orridge Music Soundtrack composed by members of Einstürzende Neubauten, Soft Cell, Psychick TV, and The The. Newly scanned and restored in 2K from its 16mm original negative. This newly restored and rarely screened cyber-punk political thriller is set in a post-modern dystopic German cityscape where „Muzak“ has been carefully engineered by the powers that be to promote productivity and compliance among the masses and „shadow government“ agents eliminate all dissent. The titular “Decoder,” FM (FM Einheit of the 'experimental' music group Einstürzende Neubauten), is a disillusioned punk and 'noise-freak' who experiments with white-noise and “infra-sound” in his home studio. While taking a break in a fast food burger shop, FM is confronted by the ubiquitous Muzak and asks himself if there is some connection between the bland music and the “plastic” food served to the masses. He begins to record, edit and “decode” the Muzak around him in order to learn what secrets, if any, are behind it. Could Muzak hold the key to revolution and liberation? Filmed in Berlin, Hamburg and London, and drawing from the writings of William S. Burroughs, who also appears in the film, Decoder has become an underground Cult classic of the Punk and Underground music world.
