The year is drawing to a close, and with a touch of nostalgia, our memories go back thirty years to when maxim film opened in Berlin on December 13, 1995, with a big party.

In the darkness, with loud music and dancing, technicians worked until midnight to install the last cables for a VideoMachine—an innovative digital editing system at the time, now forgotten technology. And the next day, we discovered that we hadn't locked the front door.

There are no photos of the party. Unthinkable today. But there are still photos of the ephemeral installation “two cubes” made of ice and stone by Josina von der Linden in the second backyard, created for the opening. The raw brick wall and the old gatepost – these too are history.

We wish you all Happy Holidays and a healthy and happy New Year 2026!
