The Brandenburg Gate is an immersive film that takes the visitors through more than 300 years of Berlin history centered around the Brandenburg Gate. An interwoven mosaic consisting of documentary film footage, photographs, animations, and a spatial sound composition is presented on a 30 meters screen covering three walls and a 3D sound system with 38 loudspeakers positioned around, above, and below the audience. MNTN was used to produce the immersive soundtrack as well as for the mix on location.

The Gate’s mission is to serve as an emotional starting point for Berlin tourists, igniting curiosity for Berlin’s many-faceted history. The challenge of this project was to address an international audience and create a storyline with no language barriers. The sound thus takes on a paramount role: the film dispenses entirely of spoken narrative, conveying the narration through sound design, music, and atmospheres.
