It's been twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the British Film Institute celebrates this key event in European history with a series of films exploring the continent's identity since the collapse of the Eastern Bloc.
Europe Since 1989 starts today at the BFI Southbank venue offering a pan-European collection of films covering issues such as the fall of communism and the re-shaping and formation of contemporary Europe.
The main titles include the German Oscar-winning picture The Lives of the Others, Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem's drama Mondays in the Sun and French director Jean Renoir's The Land is Mine amongst others.
BFI Europe Since 1989 also features a series of documentaries such as the Czech Dream- a satire on Euro-consummerism- and classics such as Vincente Minelli's musical An American in Paris.
