Oct 13, 2024, 8.30 PM @ Lark

Event language: English

We invite you to the Lark - one of Berlin's most beautiful waterfront clubs - and take you back to the New York of the 70s and 80s.  

D.W. Young's film Uncropped takes you to the Big Apple and tells the story of photojournalist James Hamilton, who spent over four decades working as a photojournalist in New York for various newspapers. His photographs are world-renowned, and he has photographed celebrities from Patti Smith to Muhammad Ali, as well as war and civil unrest in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. Through the lens of his camera, we not only travel back in time to New York's past, but also into Hamilton's exciting everyday life in the photography and art scene. The film will be followed by a Q&A with director D.W. Young and James Hamilton himself.

To soak up the New York atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful location, we invite you to stay for a double DJ set by DJ INAT and Savy Sevand. Let's get the night going!
