Frauke Finsterwalder’s “Sisi & Ich” celebrates its premiere at Panorama. “Wann wird es endlich wieder so, wie es nie war“ by Sonja Heiss and “Delegation” by Asaf Saban will be presented in Generation 14+.
Perspective Match shows “A Hologram for the King” by Tom Tykwer and “Requiem” by Hans-Christian Schmid. The homage to Steven Spielberg presents “Bridge of Spies”, and the Berlinale Series opens with “The Swarm”.
In addition, Berlinale Co-Pro Series presents “My First Family” by Randa Chahoud and the Berlinale Series showcase “Juan Carlos” by Pedro Barbadillo.
Kirsten Niehuus, Managing Director of MBB: “We are delighted that the Berlinale is rolling out the red carpet again and that we can finally celebrate film together with cinema fans, stars and filmmakers from all over the world. The curtain rises on MBB-funded productions no less than 14 times.
Yet our thoughts are also with the filmmakers who are prevented from making films for political reasons or who are not allowed to exercise their right to travel.”
