Berlin Forum features 9 German titles
COLOGNE, Germany -- There might be fewer German titles in Competition in the Berlin International Film Festival this year but the Festival's Forum sidebar is more than making up for that.
The Forum lineup, announced Wednesday, features no fewer than nine German-language features, including Madonnas, the sophomore effort from Maria Speth (The Days Between) featuring 2006 Silver Bear winner Sandra Hueller (Requiem).
Also from Germany is the family drama Hounds, from first-timer Ann-Kristin Reyels and Angela Schanelic's Afternoon, a retelling of Chekhov's The Sea Gull set in modern day Potsdam and Berlin.
Berlin-based artist Philip Scheffner will also be represented in this year's Forum with The Halfmoon Files, a look at the history of colonialism though the use of historic sound documents.
From Austria, the Forum has picked It Happened Just Before, a documentary-style drama from Anja Salomonowitz, Schindler's Houses from Heinz Emingholz which chronicles the work of architect Rudolph Schindler in Los Angeles; and The Prater, Ulrike Ottinger's portrait of Vienna's legendary fun fair with its iconic giant Ferris Wheel.
Two films from German-speaking Switzerland are also in this year's Forum lineup: Thomas Imbach's underwater fairytale I Was a Swiss Banker and Stefan Schwietert's portrayal of three traditional Swiss musicians, Heimatklaenge.
But the Berlinale Forum is hardly restricting itself to German-language cinema.
This year's Forum includes pictures from India -- Farhan Akhtar's updated version of classic Bollywood gangster film "Don" -- to the U.S., with Frederick Weisman's three-and-half-hour documentary examination of democracy in Idaho: State Legislature.
Other Forum titles include the debut feature Elvis Pelvis, a father-and-son tale from director Kevin Aduaka; Dol, a sarcastic drama from Iraqi Kurd helmer Hiner Saleem and Shotgun Stories, from Jeff Nichols, which tells the story of two feuding brothers in the southern U.S.
