Director ben Hunter Bonnie wanted to give a face to individuals like him to tell these outsider stories. Just a few but i had this feeling if i just fished out the story of one of these drug dealers in the policy it wouldnt get much attention in germany because it was just fade away.

In 1950 not long after the end of world war 2 they reconstruction of berlin have begun but what the city lacked was a profile for International Recognition and culture so the us Occupying Forces had the idea to hold a Film Festival in west berlin as a window on the free world. Launched in the summer of 1951 it was a success right from the start 5 years later the burning early had become an a list festival on par with can and then. The festival enjoyed a heyday and the newly built zoo Palace Cinema became the heart of the Film Festival for 3 decades. In 1961 east berliners attended for the last time later that year the berlin wall was built. And stayed in place for almost 3 decades in 1990 the berlin was also held in the eastern part of the city for the 1st time. From then on it was a festival for all of berlin.

Believe the recall maybe you should focus on it and put together to figure. Out what. The camera is always steady and respectful and the filmmaker approached his protagonists with caution. At 1st i did interviews but in the editing process i want to make it feel like a point. Like a dream i want to turn describe the emotion. Of the mind when experience. One of the films protagonists is. After a work accident that almost cost him his life and for which his employer showed no interest in the end.

Sentenced to death for murdering her husband she has one last chance of being pardoned.

Can manipulate reality even if its in game or for good unbelievable as it seems shows like this really exist in iran so the director just took it to the extreme. Things we dont know which was his on one of my loveable rejoinders almost out of actually doing that they get all muddy says if you try you have not. A problem i thought. Of later what it represents during our society how today because its. Combining. Tradition and why there need to be. In one piece of this t. V. Show. The film is also a portrait of iranian women paying tribute to their strengths. The film successfully shows how women from different social classes backgrounds families and education are all very active in one way or the other. The film is scheduled to be released in iran soon maybe with the berlin ali behind it it will succeed the festival is the Political Force questions that concern us all the been a number that asks them persistently. But oh that. Rule lost everything including her parents and brother and the 2011 tsunami. And now thought she is living with theirs in the hospital. In utter despair a route travels across japan. A lead actress serino mottola is just 21 years old when the monster wave hit she was 10 and in her final year of Primary School she herself didnt lose anyone close to her but she remembers the disaster. Coping with this and were probably among the youngest who really experienced the disaster. We have images of it in our minds. That the children from my school who were 2 or 3 years younger at the time can probably hardly remember it. Could they were just too small. In the. Behind the facade of normality the collective trauma festers the film tells a story from the perspective of individuals project or not the hero the film also has a political dimension to the tsunami and the nuclear accident. Are yesterdays news in japan. And then we need a Muslim Community stop reporting on the disaster and its effects especially now with the Olympic Games coming up i get the feeling that Japanese Society as a whole would just rather forget all these problems. That you and you took on a school. Night or. How ru is picked up by mario he worked in the Fukushima Nuclear plant and lost his wife and child in 2011. How can we cope with grief and loss there are questions that confront us all not only in japan but you know just how remote journey takes her from deep depression back into life. Was invited to dine with a kurdish family their daughter is the same age as her room and they become friends the kurdish family are not actors the film is a semi documentary. The scene developed on its own without the directors assistance. In putting some money. In so i really just chatted with everybody the whole time i heard of the one the cyclone and the with the girl in particular i got along very well we were like real friends i was actually a little sad when the meeting was over. These. Shooting for the movie was completed in just 3 weeks it was the 1st time the director and lead actress had worked together. Serena mottola had already acted in a number of films shes also a successful model. Director not the hero sue i knew right away the sensitive young woman was right for the lead and the challenging shoot. There was no script we improvised. So i tried to adjust to the various locations in the situations. How does the place smell what people will i meet. What kind of things are there and i had to feel my way into the scenes over and over. And i think. Its a low key deeply moving film with an optimistic ending toru has seen her ruined home once more then by chance she meets a young man. He tells her about the phone of the wind people use it to speak to the dead such a telephone booth actually exists but tens of thousands of japanese suck comfort in it after the tsunami. I. Think. The film had its european premiere in berlin and then it was party to. The building now that hes always in times of power its always just be. Done. Out in. Berlin now and it stars in 1954 the glamorous and beautiful gino lola brigida made a splash in berlin and alongside her a young sophia in the rain to goddesses of italian cinema.

In 1903 billy wilder received an honorary golden bear at the age of 86 there were Standing Ovations for the man who fled berlin in 1933 to escape the nazis and became a famous hollywood director. In the ninetys berlin was growing into its role as the german capital its Film Festival attracted International Stars the biggest names in the business graced its red carpet. In 2008 the festivals opening film was shine a light Martin Scorseses tour a documentary about the Rolling Stones before band members came to berlin for the premiere. Over the last 70 years fashion and hairstyles have come and gone but one thing never changes the enthusiasm of the public and the photographers. And whats making the bestival headlines this. The 2020 festival also has its stars johnny depp Sigourney Weaver im william defoe. And the queen of the Silver Screen helen mirren this years festival pays special tributes who are a superstar at age 74. A range is nothing short of vast the shrewd empress. A retired assassin. Of an older clip girl. Helen mirren brings real character to all her roles im not a movie star im an actress she was human its necessary to save your breath the characters are often feisty and fight for selfassertion i make my own choices and i dont need your permission. For such female characters were long under represented in movies much to the chagrin of the feminist helen mirren the change in the last 510 years has been remarkable and very very exciting to me i wish i was 25 if. Im a bit cross that is taking this long. Stereotypes of always being an abomination to helen mirren. In the gangster movie the long good friday she made sure her role as the sexy but it was rewritten she saw the original as beneath her. And not stupid. I told you what i told him every day i go on the set and i dream. Written the scene you know written my character said right away thats the whole of the scene where she takes im not didnt know and shes the one whos driving it and i was just an absolute pain in the ass for the poor director. She started her career on the stage in the 1960 s. As the youngest member of the Royal Shakespeare company. I wanted to be a great stage actress we didnt get to the cinema also i wasnt really aware of the incredible art form that is film. She found fame as a tough detective chief inspector in london who battles preconceived ideas in a mans world as well as her own weaknesses what always makes a character interesting and. Brings the audience in is not strength its its vulnerability and weakness you know its a great roles are to do with all nobility and weakness. And Peter Greenaway is the cook the thief his wife and her lover helen mirren doesnt appear weak she plays the gangsters wife a sophisticated ice cold goddess of revenge. But. A feminist act in art house cinema. But you can also play quick tempered territory. Thank you thank god. Here she is the wife of russian writer leo tolstoy. These days at the age of 74. 00 she can afford to be picky about the roles she accepts. Straight to the last page is my character on the last page if its a good sign. Then i could write the script from the beginning the Prime Minister for your seeing today such obvious roles so for. Or was arguably that of the queen and Stephen Frears 2006 film of the same name. Changed after the death of Princess Diana and the royal family remained silent the british are outraged and the monarchy is plunged into crisis i come from a republican family you know we dont believe in aristocracy and in royal families but i have to say in researching the queen to play her as a personage i came to respect her very very deeply her absolute. Appearance to the role to the joke. Of the conflicting feelings of the queen portrayed by helen mirren the film. Is a case that was full. Of. Holes. For me. To follow up.
