Cycling the Frame, de Cynthia Beatt

In 1988, filmmaker Cynthia Beatt accompanied and filmed actress Tilda Swinton as she cycled around the Berlin Wall, starting and finishing at the Brandenburg Gate. The result is a fascinating journey through time and a meditative look at one of the most important events of the 20th century.

The Invisible Frame, de Cynthia Beatt

In June 2009, Tilda Swinton and director Cynthia Beatt got together to walk back along the line of the wall that once isolated Berlin. The resulting film describes this journey, 21 years later, through varied landscapes, this time on both sides of the former wall.
