The recurring themes in the 45 films selected for this year’s Berlin Panorama are “breaking free”, “cinematic (self-)discoveries” and “artists’ portraits”.
Berlin puts the finishing touches to its Panorama selection.
The programme of the Panorama section of the 69th Berlin International Film Festival (7-17 February 2019) is now complete. Another 23 films have joined the 22 titles announced before Christmas, making a total of 45 selections representing 38 countries, including 30 fiction features, 15 documentaries, 19 debuts – amongst which the first films by high-profile actors Jonah Hill and Casey Affleck behind the camera (as well as in front of it in the latter’s case) – 18 fully European (co-)productions, and 11 co-productions with non-European countries.
Section head Paz Lázaro and co-curator and programme manager Michael Stütz hope that all of these works will make for a “controversial, political and provocative programme”, where one important recurring theme is “breaking free” from oppression (or attempting to do so), be it from the family, religion, heteronormativity or the capitalist system. Other prominent motifs this year are cinematic (self-)discovery and artists’ portraits.
Amongst the newcomers are German directors Edward Berger (the celebrated helmer of Jack, in competition in 2014) and Uli M Schüppel, also well known in the world of non-fiction. The opening film is Jenna Cato Bass’s European-South African title Flatland.
