This Catalogue includes details of all the UK productions and official co-productions screening in the Festival. It is divided into Contemporary - films screening in the Competition, Special, Panorama, Forum and Generation sections; Retrospective - films screening in both Classics and Homage section, including a major celebration of the work of Ken Loach; and Shorts. The key UK Film organisations are represented in Berlin under the single umbrella of WE ARE UK FILM, a grouping of UK film commissions, national and regional agencies and sales companies. Together we provide clear information about our outstanding locations, services, films and talent, and we represent the UK Film industry enabling connections with both national and international partners. In partnership with WE ARE UK FILM, this Catalogue is a resource complied by British Council Film, which acts as a link between UK films and filmmakers and new international audiences. British Council Film works with a range of programme selector teams from the world’s premiere international film festivals, including the team from the Berlinale, to arrange preview screenings in London of the best new British films. We also collate an online database of UK films as they go into pre-production, as well as an exhaustive British Films Directory listing all UK shorts and features produced since 1998. In order to aid research we also choose a selection of films to represent the range of UK filmmaking from the Directory each year to form a UK Film Catalogue and we compile occasional additional Catalogues (like this one) detailing the UK films which have been selected to appear in premier international Film Festivals. Each catalogue is compiled as a printable PDF and is intended as a reference tool particularly to assist Festival programmers, film buyers and sales agents, as well as other filmmakers, students, statisticians and film historians.
