Last Exit Alexanderplatz
Last Exit Alexanderplatz discusses the disputed attempt to transform the East-German Alexanderplatz into a Manhattan-like business district. Through interviews with the architects and politicians, involved in re-planning the square in the early 90s, the film highlights the insensitivity that characterized much planning in post-reunification Berlin. But it also depicts a square, which despite all failures is regaining its foothold in the city.

Hans Christian Post has since 2000 worked on-off in the documentary field. First as a research assistant for Ove Nyholm during the production of the award winning film, "Anatomy of Evil". Later, from 2005 till 2007, as researcher, assistant writer and production leader for the German company, WTS-Mixed Media, who in that period produced documentaries for 3sat and arte.
Since 2014, he has worked independently as film maker and producer. In 2015, he finished his first documentary, "Last Exit Alexanderplatz", which was followed by "Whose City?" in 2017, "We Are Here" in 2019 and "Where to With History?" in 2020.
In addition, he teaches different courses at the Department for the study of Culture at the University of Southern Denmark.
He holds a master’s degree and a PhD in Cultural Studies from the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen. His primary field of research is cultural and urban memory. With Dresden and Berlin as primary cases, he has written extensively on the intertwining of city planning, building preservation, memory, and history politics.
I am interested in exploring how the cultural sciences can merge with the documentary film genre and produce something that combines scientific research, research dissemination and entertainment, and in this way allows for the cultural sciences to reach larger audiences and have greater impact than is currently the case.
