It’s Berlinale halftime. Not that I actually know what day it is – festivals just blur into one very long period of uncountable days – but my calendar tells me that half of the joyous and exhausting time is already over.
I’m ill and have been schlepping myself around Potsdamer Platz more than I’ve been thrillingly jumping there, which results in me seeing less films than I originally planned.
Still I’ve seen 16 films in the past 5 days, so I will split this halftime review into two parts: Competition films (today) and everything else (tomorrow). This way it’s just not as overwhelming for both me to write and you to read.
With this as a backdrop continue reading what I’ve seen so far and which films you should and shouldn’t miss…

At 9 pm the lights went out at Naherholung Sternchen last Saturday Night. It was finally time to show the films Mobile Kino’s Joshua and I had selected for the Berlin Film Night, to the public. It was a great little program with a good mix of genres and topics. We screened music videos, fashion films, animation and narrative films and I think most of the audience quite enjoyed the first ever Berlin Film Night. The best part was that the combination of films gave a great summary of Berlin!
For all those who didn’t make it on Saturday or joined only later for the party, here are some of my favourites from the screening!
Also I want to take the opportunity and thank all of you who submitted or worked on one of the submitted films (screened or not) for your work. Of course a Berlin Film Night would not have been possible without your trust in us. So thank you for submitting your films and allowing us to screen them!
