Berlinale. Forum, Perspektive, Retrospective.

Two more announcements from the Berlinale today. The program for the Forum is complete: 40 films, 21 of them world premieres and 15 of them debuts. 40 is too many to list and link here, but among the filmmakers represented are Chantal Akerman, James Benning, Fujiwara Toshi, Amos Gitai, Cho Chang-ho and on and on.

Also complete is the program for the Perspektive Deutsches Kino and special events for the Retrospective have been announced as well. One stands out. A newly restored version of Carl Theodor Dreyer's Michael will be screened at the Volksbühne on February 11, accompanied by music from ensembleKONTRASTE under the direction of Pierre Oser.
