When Ulrich Schreiber started the ilb, he thought only about one, two years. After the third year, he tells, he realized that nobody can stopp the festival anymore, "even not the mayor of Berlin". And here we are 20 years later. His comrades and friends from the first hour tell their stories about the festival: actress Nina Hoss, literary scientist Michi Strausfeld, stage designer Jakob Mattner, actor-director Frank Arnold, photographer Hartwig Klappert, photographer Ali Ghandtschi. Congratulations and honoring words come from journalists Denis Scheck, Jörg Thadeusz and Frank A. Meyer. Cheers!
