Market: Voodoo Market in June 2013, Friedrichshain
Over the past few years I’ve come across quite a few Voodoo Market posters (it takes place every once in a while – twice a year or something like that?) It’s an arts/crafts/vintage/designer market, check it out here: http://voodoomarket.wordpress.com/. The next Voodoo Market (organised in cooperation with Hamburg-based Mädelsflohmarkt ) will take place on Saturday, 8th June 2013 from 1pm to 8pm at Urban Spree (another location I’ve been meaning to visit!) and I fully intend to go this time!

Chinese film festival at Arsenal Kino: “Ein Lied um Mitternacht. Chinesische Filmgeschichte von 1929 bis 1964”
Arsenal Kino is still showing historic Chinese films as part of their “Ein Lied um Mitternacht” festival which runs until the end of March. I missed the first half of the film festival but I’ll try and squeeze in at least a couple of films next week. I’m off to Asia for a month just after Easter (Singapore and Bangkok!) so I’m quite busy with work at the moment. But how often do you get to see Chinese silent movies from the 1930s or political dramas from the 1960s? Exactly. This Sunday I’ll go and see “Uproar in Heaven”, an animated movie from 1964. Here is the cinema website with more details about the festival: www.arsenal-berlin.de/kino-arsenal.

Niche Parfum & Showroom – Art and indie fragrances in Prenzlauer Berg
Earlier this week I visited Niche (store website), a brand new art-and-perfume store in Rykestraße 16. Artist Chris Gräfensteiner opened her fragrance/showroom in December; she sells her own artwork, fragrances from L’Artisan Parfumeur and Six Scents and Berlin accessories label Wanawake. A beautiful store and a really cool retail concept; Niche will also be my next Mintel article.
