Berlin will be playing host to the world of film when the 67th Berlinale comes to town from 9 to 19 February 2017. On behalf of the Goethe-Institut, twelve bloggers and film journalists from around the world will be our BerlinaleBloggers, reporting on the international film festival from a multinational perspective.
What makes the Berlinale special for the Brazilian blogger, and how does her view differ from the Italian perspective? And what strikes the Australian blogger as interesting about the German submissions? Which trends in the film world make the Spanish journalist optimistic? And what does the blogger from the UK think about this? To what extent do the experts feel influenced by their own cultural background?
The 2017 BerlinaleBloggers are from Egypt, Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, Norway, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. A multinational team, they will be out and about in Berlin, searching for fascinating stories in the cinema theatres and behind the festival scenes. They will be jointly reflecting on their impressions against the backdrop of their own cultures.
Unser Blogger Andrea D’Addio hat das Publikum der Berlinale interviewt: Wie finden die Zuschauer das Festival? Und Berlin? Wo kommen sie her? Welchen Film haben sie bei ihrem ersten Kinobesuch gesehen?
Der 19jährige Deutsche Louis Hofmann ist der jüngste der European Shootings Stars der diesjährigen Berlinale. Der Film „Unter dem Sand“, in dem er einen jungen Kriegsgefangenen spielt, ist als bester ausländischer Film für die Oscars nominiert.
Gute Filmkritik fördern wir auch mit dem Berlinale Talent Press-Programm – einem gemeinsamen Projekt von Berlinale Talents, dem Goethe-Institut und der internationalen Filmkritiker-Organisation FIPRESCI.
