Drama on fractured Israeli identity scoops Berlin filmfest top prize critical drama about an Israeli expatriate in Paris wrestling with his identity, “Synonyms” by direc- tor Nadav Lapid, won the Golden Bear top prize at the Berlin film festival Saturday. Lapid said the sexuallyA explicit, semi-autobiographical movie, which deals with a young man who has fled Israel over its fraught political situation, might “scandalize” many in his home country as well as France. “I hope that people will not look only at this film as a kind of harsh or radical political state- ment because it’s not,” he told reporters after accepting the prize from jury president Juliette Binoche. “First of all, it’s a human and existential and artistic statement. The film is also a celebration and a party, a cel- ebration of cinema.” The runner-up jury prize went to French filmmaker Francois Ozon for “By the Grace of God”, a wrenching drama based on real-life survivors of rampant sexual molestation in the Catholic church. “The film tries to break the silence in powerful institutions,” he said.

  • Berlinale 2008
    Berlinale 2008 By Ron Holloway Spring 2008 Issue of KINEMA 58th BERLINALE 2008 Box Office Bonanza Will it ever end? During his seven years as Berlinale director, Dieter Kosslick’s festival tenure is annually boosted by success at the box office. Following the close of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival (7-17 February 2008), bonanza statistics were promptly released to the press. The 58th Berlinale recorded an overall audience of 430,000, of which some 230,000 purchased tickets, thus exceeding last year’s record by more than 6,000. The number of visiting film professionals (exhibitors, sales agents, industry representatives) increased to 20,000 from 125 countries, topping last year’s total of 19,155. The number of accredited journalists rose to 4,105. The sum of public screenings also rose to 1,256, compared with 934 screenings in 2007. Only the number of films participating in this year’s official programs dipped in comparison tolast year - down from 396 to 383 - but even this adjustment apparently made some Berlinale entries all the more attractive. The buzz at the Berlinale? Of particular interest were the ”EFM Industry Debates” held in the Marriott Hotel for three days in the middle of the festival. A hundred participants registered for the panel discussions on the challenges and opportunities of ”Digital Film Distribution” in the not too distant future. Another press headliner was a calculation on the ”monetary worth” of this year’s Berlinale, reckoned at circa €17.2m, or around US$ 26m. The sum includes the input by the German government (country, state, city), estimated at € 6.2m, or approximately US$ 9.3m.

  • Berlinale 2001 Report
    Berlinale 2001 Report By Ron Holloway Spring 2001 Issue of KINEMA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL BERLIN 2001 IT fit the 2001 Berlinale (7-18 February 2001) like a glove: Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 -- A Space Odyssey as the closing night presentation. For back at the 1981 Berlinale, when Martin Scorsese delivered a fiery, passionate lecture on ”Color Fading,” he cited 2001 in particular to underscore the dilemma of colour preservation. Thanks to his efforts, and those of dedicated film archivists, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) has now been restored to its original pristine colour photography -and was the undeniable hit of the Berlinale. When one recalls that Berlinale director Alfred Bauer had laboured far into the night to book Kubrick’s 2001 for the 1968 festival -- a failed effort now fulfilled -- this made for a particularly poignant evening. Stanley Kubrick’s widow attended the screening, together with his brother-in-law Jan Harlan, whose documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures was programmed as part of the tribute. And since Kirk Douglas was also being honoured with a festival homage, Kubrick’s Paths of Glory (1957) was equally well received at its special screening in the Berlinale Palast on Marlene-Dietrich-Platz. Surely the 51st Berlinale will be long remembered for its splendid Fritz Lang retrospective, the accompanying exhibition in the recently opened Filmmuseum Berlin, and the Special Screening of his classic Metropolis (Germany, 1925/26). Indeed, sellout crowds enthusiastically applauded the screenings, the silent films were shown with live musical accompaniment, the ”FL” catalogue runs 512 pages, and the exhibition is now scheduled to go on tour -- to Vienna, Paris, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

  • 57Th Berlinale 2007
    57th Berlinale 2007 By Ron Holloway Spring 2007 Issue of KINEMA EUROPEAN Film Market Now in his sixth year as director of the Berlin International Film Festival, Dieter Kosslick takes particular pride in changing the image of the festival each time around. This year, for the 57th Berlinale (8-18 February 2007), he expanded the European Film Market (EFM) beyond the environs of the roomy Martin Gropius Bau, a short three-minute walk from festival headquarters on the Potsdamer Platz. ”Last year, we offered buyers and sellers 5000 square metres of space in the Gropius Bau,” he said in an interview, ”but this year every nook and cranny of the building couldn’t accommodate all of the market professionals who requested stands.” So, to handle the overflow, the fifth floor of the Berlinale Service Center in the Debis atriumwas reserved for latecomers. Altogether, more than 5000 market professionals were accredited for the Berlinale, while over 250 films from 51 countries were programmed in 1100 screenings. Walk across the street from the Martin Gropius Bau to the Abgeordenetenhaus von Berlin (Berlin Parliament House), and you would find national delegates from the European Union gathered for roundtable sessions at the Berlinale Co-Production Market. Jump in a shuttle bus, and you could visit the Berlinale Talent Campus quartered in the nearby Hebbel am Ufer (HAU) complex. Next year, when renovations have been completed on the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) in Tiergarten Park, the Berlinale Talent Campus will move back to its natural habitat. The Campus is one of the Berlinale’s success stories.

  • VR Release DRAFT V7
    UK PREMIERE OF TSAI MING-LIANG’S FEATURE-LENGTH VIRTUAL REALITY FILM, THE DESERTED London – March 2019 – The UK premiere of The Deserted, Tsai Ming-Liang’s 2017 feature length virtual reality (VR) film, is one of the highlights of the inaugural Taiwan Film Festival UK. The initial screening is on 3 April 2019, at a specially designed VR pop-up cinema at Asia House in central London, and will then be open to the public from 4-8 April, with seven showings a day. The Deserted tells the surreal story of a man living in a ruined house in the mountains with two ghosts and a fish. Recovering from an illness and unable to communicate with the ghosts, his only companion is the lone fish who swims with him in the bathtub. A lauded master of slow cinema, Tsai Ming-Liang chose this film to open the retrospective that he curated in close collaboration with Festival director, Aephie Chen for the Taiwan Film Festival UK. This includes a selection of his fiction feature-length films and shorts showing at the Tate Modern’s Starr Cinema from 5 – 7 April and Tsai will participate in post-screening Q&As, as well as lead a filmmaking masterclass at the Tate. This is a rare opportunity to hear him in conversation as Tsai has not been to the UK for over a decade. The VR cinema is in partnership with Art Cinema and sponsored by HTC Vive Arts and MSI, the Festival’s virtual reality partners. The UK premiere of The Deserted will be shown in 8K resolution, which is a significant improvement on the 4K resolution of the original world premiere at the 2017 Venice Film Festival.
