61st Berlin International Film Festival Panorama 2011 with Renowned Directors, Three Films on India and Many New Discoveries
The 61st Berlin International Film Festival unveiled the films in the Panorama 2011 section. The themes of many first films are daring and hence inspiring, as seen in the work of Israeli filmmaker Michal Aviad who, set against the backdrop of the interminable Palestinian-Israeli conflict, has her protagonists work through traumas in Lo Roim Alaich (Invisible), or with French director Céline Sciamma whose Tomboy portrays the coming of age of a boy in a girl’s body – a deeply touching story, one that is also the subject of a German directorial debut, Sabine Bernardi’s Romeos. Then there’s the French entry Dernier étage gauche gauche (Top Floor Left Wing) by Angelo Cianci that revolves around the next generation of Arab adolescents who are already integrated but marginalized, and of whom too little is demanded. Though, of course, topical political issues are also taken up by famous Europeans, such as the boatpeople from Afghanistan by Greek filmmaker Constantine Giannaris (many-time guest of the Panorama and in the 2002 Competition with One Day In August) in his work Man At Sea; and the past and present consequences of colonisation by Spanish director Icíar Bollaín in her film También la lluvia (Even the Rain). In it, Sebastian (played by Gael García Bernal) casts a drama about the Spanish conquest 500 years earlier with the indigenous people from an entire village. This film is also screening in the Berlinale’s Culinary Cinema series on February 16. Star chef Thomas Kammeier will prepare two dishes inspired by the film for the occasion.
