7pm: Mainzer Street (English with German subtitles, 90 min.)

Squatters, Gays, Lesbians Fight the Nazis and Cops! A documentary about a squat in East 
Berlin in 1990 that skillfully weaves together issues of housing shortage, 
xenophobia, patriarchy and capitalism. It examines housing shortages in 
Berlin both before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the efforts of a 
group of squatters to find homes on Mainzer Street. Squatters talk about 
their experiences in specific houses and projects, such as the 
Lesbian-Wimmin's House, the FairyGayMen's House, the people's kitchen, 
and a street festival. The film then shows their struggle to protect these 
advances from politicians, neo-nazis, and police. This is a great film 
about squatting in Berlin. It is a great and honest analysis of how people 
seek to build new structures of living and the pressures they face.
9pm: Born in Flames (Directed by Lizzie Borden)

Feminist classic BORN IN FLAMES is the futuristic tale of the turmoil that still brews 
years after a "peaceful" social revolution. Thwarted by a 
system which rejects its minorities, a group of women band together in an 
effort to gain control of the state owned media. With humor and style, the 
film combines the many cadences of the women's movement - militant, 
moderate, hip hop rap, punk cool - to suggest the possibility of a unified voice.
