The first English-language trailer for Burhan Qurbani’s Berlin Alexanderplatz, which will have its world premiere in competition at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. Qurbani and co-writer Martin Behnke have drawn on elements and characters from Alfred Döblin’s 1929 Weimer Republic era classic novel for this tale set in present-day Berlin. It stars Welket Bungué as a refugee from Guinea Bissau struggles to survive in the German capital without papers after illegally crossing by boat from Africa to Europe.
