The metropolitan line of Berlin, established in 1938, is far more than just a transport line. It is a social and cultural monument, a piece of industrial culture and moreover naturally a German-German phenomenon. In his film the producer, Alfred Dehrens, does not just tell the story of the metropolitan line but also the story of his fascination. His pictures are documents of his personal memories. What is the significance of the program for input? Calm photography telling the story of the decay of one of the old European cultural and historic centres, the corrosion of a one-time Titanic. Weird beauty of a capitalistic transportation system becoming a monument. For INPUT because it is an essay in journalistic concubinage with art.
