Rick previews “Searching for Lenin’s Head”
Rick will be showing excerpts from his work-in-progress "Searching for Lenin's Head" – the sequel to his 1996 short film "The Book of Lenins" – and discuss how his excavation of the head of the Berlin Lenin statue in 1994 continues to make headlines today. The presentation will be in German, and will take place at the Max-Lingner-Haus (Beatrice-Zweig-Str. 2, 13056 Berlin-Pankow) at 7 p.m. on December 4, 2024, and will be streamed live on YouTube.
