And they missed out on. One of the highlights of contemporary version of the classic work alexanderplatz. When i look at you i see. Strong probably tired of 2nd hand doing nothing. A few long days from glad i understand it is live. As we go yes because you use up more from life than just the bad in the piece off but it brought the whole chill going through. Frances from west africa is just one of many. After a long and traumatic journey as a refugee hes arrived in berlin. He hopes to start a new life here a respectable one but instead he falls into the clutches of ryan hold a crook who is the devil. Incarnate. Inclinometer. The sometimes. Tough. Francis aims to stay legal even in the toughest of circumstances when the fleeced when you flee when you leave your home and you dont just lose that place to his profit and you lose your language of selfassurance your family your sense of security. And for me thats Human Dignity which the character must struggle to be a berth on clear bonnie is himself the son of political refugees from afghanistan. I think despite his best intentions franciscos astray by brian hall forces him to take part in a break and 9. Seed these times must i. Have been. Shown to be off. The bottom francis struggles stumbles falls down and keeps on fighting he tries to retain his goodness and about world the film is a 3 hour long trip from hell through a mad messed up city. Much of the action also takes place a house and haida a borough in park known for its drug scene in which some refugees act as dealers like francis. 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 polls it wouldnt get much attention in germany it would just fade away. As a convert so qubani turned to an old story a novel barely alexanderplatz by our food duplin a german literary classic from 1929. It was 1st film just 2 years later as in the book the protagonist is called franz b. Because not. Just released from jail franz wants to work and leave a normal life the film is a portrait of its time. Half century later legendary director reiner vanna cost and turned bad in Alexander Potts into a t. V. Series once again where lynn was betrayed as a behemoth that devoured people. Now beyond could bonnie has brought you lean story into the 21st century his tale of an undocumented immigrant is a surreal nightmare a downward journey into an unforgiving parallel universe no home for good. We want to tell a story about characters they demand for realization you know to understand we have they are placed in the society i see so should lean as a microcosmos. And this really is a place but i fear that you have space to talk you can have a voice here. Francis falls in love with a call girl named but their relationship is doomed even she cant help fascists who is torn between 2 worlds. Its what. Makes us. Think you should skip paths this point to projects that are close to your heart that are a cut above other films and this is absolutely one of mine and of course hats see and play act and that scene. Films like this can encourage people to think or look at things differently saying. Their hand khubani brings a fresh perspective to a classic tale which focuses on people from the fringes. Society exposes both the dark side of the song and the city. Migration one of the major topics in. The 70 s. The girl an International Film festival has a history like no other. In 1950 not long after the end of world war 2 they reconstruction of berlin had begun but what the city lacked was a profile for International Recognition and culture so the us Occupying Forces had the idea to hold the 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 berlin ali had become an a list 1st of all on par with can and. The festival enjoyed a heyday and the newly built zuko cinema became the heart of the Film Festival for 3 decades. In 1961 east berlin or has attended for the last time later that year at the berlin wall was built. And stayed in place for almost 3 decades in 1900 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 and. In the year 2000 new festival the news opened at Potsdamer Platz in the city center in its 70th anniversary year of the festivals past came back to haunt it. Its 1st director was revealed to be a high ranking nazi in the film directorate set up by ghosts of the festivals organizers have said that bowers role will be investigated by an independent group of historians but the burn in iowa is experienced in dealing with the past and. The president s office role it is a political festival. What lies behind singapores gleaming facades the dreams and nightmares of around 1000000 Migrant Workers they make up about a 6th of the population and although they greatly contribute to the economy in asias richest nation they remain almost invisible on the edge of society. Just like we are living in separate worlds i think this documentary i want to assure when i still. Work. Just humans like us they have family they have hopes and dreams so i hope theres a wall empathy for Migrant Workers director leave been spent 6 months in the separate world of the Migrant Workers before making the film following their lives and also observing one ngo which helps people to deal with problems problems such as loneliness debt abuse exploitation in a world where turbo capitalism disregards human rights and i. Think a little maybe you should. 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 because its a 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 for us after a work accident that almost cost him his life and for which is employer showed no interest in the n. G. O. S brings him back home to bangladesh and emotion. Journey for everybody and the beginning of a friendship after making it a feel we saw in. The group chat and recently she she bought for carlos and for me cause after us its a very cute. Hallucinatory card apocalyptic a nightmare that pinky was a member of a corrupt religious act both in the film and in real life now he is on the run. By. The same a team of those who can tell us of the fire. Commissioner do it. As you put a criminal. In this bleak film collage camillo wrist strap overthe next on the violence unleashed by a religious act a common phenomena both in colombia and throughout latin america. And no one to call for this is a huge amount of profiteers who say that the law should be 1st in the 1st last and they tell people that they are the last but they will give them the means to be the 1st its like a reproduction of Power Systems in the average of 3 to be 1st its about government and society and how its organized. Society. Colombia has a long history of violence for those on the bottom rung of society like drug addict pinky violence sometimes seems like the only option. The film was like a therapy session for the real life pinky yeah dont make things up. Cinema commode life differently it can escape reality and said it. Different truck do need the film changed pinky and really if you need a movie it would really be a hoot now hes going back to his home town and almost doesnt do drugs anymore because you know its not just working. Per script out the door would be. Used to conduct those is neither a documentary north fiction but a painful visionary allegory of a dysfunctional society. Down tonight intent on iranians are celebrating the longest and darkest night of the year on the 21st of december. Mariyam state is about to be sealed on t. V. Sentenced to death for murdering her husband she has one last chance of being pardons. Which wouldnt be able to be sure but surely surely if you had spent his would sort of didnt wish to sit here insure all about you have a culture in the show watched by millions nerium is confronted with the daughter of the man she murdered will she forgive her in a country where the principle of an eye for an eye is widespread almost the main thing is forgiveness and be able to put yourself in the shoes of somebody else hear the theme of the freedom of course its the media. Can manipulate reality even if its in doing more for a good thing unbelievable as it seems shows like this really exist in iran the director just took it to the extreme. So i just really dont know which was designed by the other coverage on youre almost out of actually doing. The census if you have not. Better what it represents the hearing our society sounds out today because its combining. The tradition of modern. In one episode 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 the. Rule lost everything including our parents and brother and the 2011 tsunami. And now thought she is living with this 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. Has been with us and were probably among the youngest who really experienced the disaster. We have images of it in our minds. The children from my school who were 2 or 3 years younger at the time can probably hardly remember it. They were just too small. In the. Behind the facade of normality a collective trauma festers the film tells a story from the perspective of individuals. For director not the hero the film also has a political dimension the tsunami and the Nuclear Accident at fukushima are yesterdays news in japan. And then when the media stopped reporting on the disaster and its effects. We 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 dont. Like or. How true 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 of actions that confront us all not only in japan but you know just her journey takes her from deep depression back into life. As invited to dine with a kurdish family their daughter is the same age as her and theyve become friends. The kurdish family are not actors the film is a semi documentary. A scene developed on its own without the directors assistance. In putting some money so. I really just chatted with everybody the whole time harder when the cyclone and the with the girl in particular i got along very well we were like real friends and i was actually a little sad when the meeting was over. The course and the scope of this. Shooting for the movie was completed in just 3 weeks it was the 1st time the director and lead actors 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 but 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 and 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 than 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 for tens of thousands of japanese comfort in it after the tsunami. I. Think. The film had its european premiere in berlin and then it was party time. The building not that hes only sometimes if. Its always just be. In this town its out in. Berlin now and it stars in 1954 the glamorous and beautiful ginola brigida made a splash in berlin and alongside her a young sophia in the rain 2 goddesses of italian cinema.

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.

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 tribute to her a superstar at age 74. Range is nothing short of the shrewd empress. Of a tired 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. Such female characters were long under represented in movies whats the grin 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. Im a bit cross that its 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 was rewritten she saw the original as been either. A lot stupid. I told you what i told them everything every day id go on the set and id. He written the scene you know written my characters him right away thats how the whole of the scene when she takes him out to dinner 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 den youngest member of the Royal Shakespeare company. I wanted to be a great stage actress we didnt get to this and im also i wasnt really aware of the incredible op form that his 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 vulnerability and weakness you know its a great roles are to do with film ability and weakness. In Peter Greenaway is the cook the thief his wife and her lover helen mirren it 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 she get 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 or the Prime Minister for you in 2 days i took this role so.
