About Fassbinder and Alexanderplatz

Fassbinder was a German actor, screenwriter and influential and prolific filmaker. Berlin Alexanderplatz is considered one of Fassbinder’s greatest works and is the culmination of his lifelong relationship with Alfred Doblin’s novel of Berlin in the 1920s. The controversial, fifteen-hour film follows Franz Biberkopf as he attempts to seek redemption in Weimar-era Germany.

About The Waldorf

After 63 years in business, East Vancouver’s Famous Waldorf Hotel has been reimagined as a creative compound where contemporary art, music, food and culture convene under one roof. Special events, unique spaces, great food and hospitality. There’s always something happening at The Waldorf.

Press

“While offering a nod to the hotel’s Polynesian lineage, the Waldorf redux has mercifully sidestepped kitsch to emerge as a landmark destination for creative travelers. A haven for artists, musicians and cultural thrill-seekers, the Waldorf offers an experience not easily forgotten, one that makes you feels as though you’re vacationing in New York rather than the heart of Vancouver’s east side.” – Globe and Mail
