The Berlinale – a German Festival
Even if in competition for the Golden bear, in addition to a few Co-productions, only one purely German Film: the 66. Edition of the Berlin film festival is once again massively on the domestic cinema. 151 films from Germany or with German funding, are shown. In the section “perspektive Deutsches Kino” is also the debut “agony” by David Clay Diaz.
“The Clash of cultures is, in my opinion, the true reason why the Berlinale such a big impact,” said festival Director Dieter Kosslick already in preparation of the Berlinale 2015. A year later, is now the Flüchtlingsthema in the focus of the film festival. The Berlinale is a major international cultural events, is always with socially and politically relevant issues. Kosslick can, with real-life examples. He cited “Clash of cultures” is at the Berlinale deeply rooted, he belongs to the “Berlinale-DNA”, like the enterprising Director of the festival is always emphasized.
The Berlinale has always been a political Festival
“As the Berlinale 66 years was launched in Europe were also millions of Germans on the flight, or expulsion, traumatized”, it is called pages of the festival. The Berlin film festival have taken on the task of understanding, tolerance and acceptance to promote. Since then, they’ve been getting on social situations is governed. If the other major Festivals of the continent, Cannes and Venice, the claim would be much less credible.
With views of the Flüchtlingsthema: Berlinale-boss Dieter Kosslick
The Berlinale, by contrast, was always a political Festival, sometimes less, but usually more. So politically, just that the Festival also was accused: the Berlinale will show a lot of socially relevant cinema, dedicate but to little aesthetic developments of the film. There is quite some Truth to it. Not infrequently one had in the last few years, the impression that the winners of the Silver and the Golden bears only, therefore, were selected because they are “politically important” and not because they are aesthetically innovative.
Dieter Kosslick: “in 2003, the most intense Berlinale-Moment”
Nevertheless, The Berlinale was always with a variety of points. In the various Festivalsektionen, especially those away from the glamorous competition, run year after year, documentation, policy-called essay films, committed and critical movies. Marginalized groups of the society come at the Berlinale always to the word. Refugees were already often in the focus of the Berlinale.
You decide on the bears: the international Jury of 2016
Kosslick recalled, in this context, for him the most moving event that he previously as a boss of the festival experience: “for me the most intense Moment in which the utopia of the reality and the cinema of reality came together, that was the last day of the Berlinale in 2003.” Inside was the winner of the Golden bear proclaims, Michael Winterbottoms Film “In this World”, the escape of three Afghans from the war-torn country shows; at the same time, demonstrated outside around the Potsdamer Platz, about 400,000 people against the Invasion of Iraq. “There were the Berlinale and the cinema literally ‘in this world’,” recalls Kosslick.
Berlinale-Motto in 2016: “The right to happiness“
For such an Interplay between Film and reality, between culture and politics, there are many examples in the Berlinale history. In 2006, it was in Berlin that Bosnia-Drama “Grbavica,” excellent. In the past year, won the Tehran secretly turned Film “Taxi” by Jafar Panahi the Golden bear at the Berlinale. “Not only a courageous work”, as Kosslick stressed, “but one that the right to freedom of expression in artistic grandiose Form of expression.”
Example of a political Film in competition in 2016: “Death in Sarajevo” about the assassination attempt on 1. World war led to a
“The right to happiness” is the Motto of the 66. Berlinale international film festival, and to the happiness of the people include freedom of expression, as well as the right to food, the choice of the Lebensmittelpunkts and the free exercise of religion. Of course they could have the Motto also to earlier vintages of the film festival passed, but this year it seems particularly well chosen. A number of posts in all sections of the festival will deal with the current issues of flight, expulsion and Integration.
“The Berlinale as part of the welcome culture”
However, the 66. The Berlinale is also involved beyond the mere screening of the films. Many activities are announced. Ticket discounts, free Platzkontingente, sponsorships – all the supposed refugees to benefit from it. “In the last year have 79.034 people in Berlin refuge,” it says of the festival: “As Publikumsfestival and major event in the city sees the Berlinale in the responsibility of their part in the Berlin welcome to contribute.”
The Berlinale 2016 can begin
For the first time in a big way, also collected money – the audience in the numerous visitors from all over the world, with the celebrities: money, the organizations are intended to benefit from, the refugees take care of traumatized people and help language courses promote.
This can be quite sensual sides: Berlin, Flüchtlingsinitiative makes with the culinary preferences of people from all over the world known. And refugee children, in Workshops something about dealing with the media in the Western world to learn.
Red carpet and refugee crisis at the Berlinale
So will the 66. Edition of the Berlinale certainly contribute to that the issue of refugees is in focus. In addition to Glamour, star fuss and Red carpet, in addition to the award ceremonies and Premierenpartys will sustainably be reminded that the Berlinale this year the politischste of the major film festivals in the world. The clash of cultures, in the theaters and also away from the movie theaters, the “Berlinale-DNA”.
