Berlin International Film Festival<\/b>
15 \u2013 25 February 2018
\nBerlin, Germany
\nBerlinale website<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With over 400 films on show, the Berlinale offers an incredibly eclectic, fun and hugely exciting blend of new cinema.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

With over 400 films to screen over the next ten days, the Berlinale retains the lead as the first big European festival event of the year. The selection films presented in Competition this time round reach from high-profile premieres like Wes Anderson\u2019s fantastical new stop-motion animated feature Isle of Dogs<\/em>, which serves as the festival\u2019s opening feature, and Gus Van Sants Don\u2019t Worry, He Won\u2019t Get Far on Foot <\/em>, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, Jack Black, and Udo Kier, to bold new works from always exciting directors such as Christian Petzold (Transit<\/em>), Philip Gr\u00f6ning (My Brother\u2019s Name is Robert and He is an Idiot<\/em>), Laura Bispuri (Figlia mia<\/em>), Lav Diaz (Season of the Devil<\/em>) and Steven Soderbergh (Unsane<\/em>), starring Claire Foy and shot completely on iPhone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Panorama section, we particularly look forward to Wolfgang Fischer\u2019s Styx<\/em>, which – nearly dialogue-free – tells the story of a female doctor on a sailing holiday gone unexpectedly sour somewhere between Europe and Africa, Idris Elba\u2019s directorial debut Yardie<\/em>, and In La enfermedad del domingo (Sunday\u2019s Illness)<\/em> about an estranged mother-daughter-relationship which looks mysterious and gorgeously shot judging by the trailer.<\/p>\n

Also worth checking out seem the documentaries presented in the Panorama section this year such as Lauren Greenfield\u2019s latest offering Generation Wealth<\/em>, the Chilly Gonzales portrait Shut Up and Play the Piano<\/em> and MATANGI \/ MAYA \/ M.I.A.<\/em> which portrays the controversial star between the labels attached to her by the music and media industries and her self-image as a Sri Lankan resistance artist.<\/p>\n

The Berlinale Classics section opens with the premiere of 1923 silent classic The Ancient Law<\/em>, while Wim Wenders\u2019 Wings Of Desire<\/em> and Japanese master Yazujiro Ozu\u2019s Tokyo Twilight<\/em> (1957) will also screen as part of the programme. In addition, Sidney Lumet\u2019s 1964 drama Fail Safe<\/em> details the US government\u2019s attempts to thwart an inadvertent attack on the USSR which would plunge the world into a nuclear war, and Mikhail Kalatozov\u2019s The Cranes Are Flying<\/em> (1957) marks the screen revival of one of Soviet cinema\u2019s first international hits post-World War II.<\/p>\n
