Official Selection: Berlin Kiez Film Festival
Why We Chose “Lost Silverfish of Berlin”
“At the Berlin Kiez Film Festival, we are deeply committed to showcasing films that address pressing social issues, spark meaningful conversations, and promote innovative solutions. Rory Ryder’s debut documentary, Lost Silverfish of Berlin, captivated us with its meticulous research, powerful storytelling, and relevance to global housing challenges.
What Makes It Unique?
The film unearths the forgotten architectural legacy of the Silverfish, a post-war innovation in East Germany, and reimagines it as a bold, contemporary solution to global housing crises.
Rory’s passion and dedication shine through with over ten years of work culminating in a film that is as informative as it is inspiring.
Why It’s Important?
Lost Silverfish of Berlin highlights the critical intersection of architecture, community, and sustainability. Its exploration of how the lessons of the past can provide solutions for the future offers a compelling message of hope and ingenuity.
Why Other Festivals Should Showcase It?
This documentary is more than a historical reflection, it’s a call to action. Its global perspective on the need for emergency housing, combined with a deeply human approach to storytelling, makes it a must-see for Human Rights and social issue-focused festivals. It resonates with audiences, offering both inspiration and a practical vision for change.
We are proud to support Rory Ryder and Lost Silverfish of Berlin. This film not only enriches our festival but stands as a shining example of how art can ignite change”.
