First few titles announced for the Berlinale Panorama
- The second major section of the Berlinale has just announced its selection of 11 fiction films and several documentaries
The first few titles in the major Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival have been unveiled, split between the Fiction and Panorama Documentaries sidebars. These initial selections place equal emphasis on European productions, including the new film by Austrian director Peter Kern, and on titles hailing from the rest of the world, such as the feature debut by US filmmaker Justin Kelly, co-produced by Gus Van Sant and starring James Franco.
Within the sub-section dedicated to documentaries, and also hailing from the US, we find the “Yes Men”, who were already crowned with the Audience Award at Berlin in 2009 and will be back in the German capital for the third time to talk about global warming and rail against heavyweight Shell.
The 11 fiction films selected are:
The Last Summer of the Rich by Peter Kern (Austria)
Dora or the Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents by Stina Werenfels (Germany/Switzerland)
Dyke Hard by Bitte Andersson (Sweden)
