The streaming Berlinale takes the pulse of our times
The Berlinale's first online competition features powerful contemporary cinema, with the winning film resonating with our current state of mind.
The sweet life of tenacious vampire intellectuals
A further Berlinale jewel is the film Bloodsuckers (German title: Blutsauger) by German director Julian Radlmaier. In this new work, he continues with healthy self-irony his search for the place of the intellectual in the field of tension between capitalism and the working class.
A festival in tricky times
A digital industry event in March, an audience event in June – this year's Berlinale has to tread unconventional paths due to the pandemic. It is all the more important that it is being held nonetheless.
