Podría ser una peli más de chico busca chica, chica busca chico. Pero nada más lejos. Porque Iván es un chico trans, porque Hadoum es una joven española de origen marroquí, porque todo sucede en la industria del tomate y los invernaderos en Almería, y porque la lucha de clases y la identidad ocupan un papel igual de relevante que el amor. Eso es “Iván y Hadoum”, la ópera prima del director Ian de la Rosa, premio Teddy Bear en la Berlinale y triunfadora en el Festival de Málaga. Con su director y con su pareja protagonista, Silver Chicón y Herminia Loh, hablamos.Escuchar audio

Director Ulrike Ottinger returns to the Berlinale with “Die Blutgräfin.” Isabelle Huppert plays the legendary Elisabeth Báthory, who reappears in today's Vienna. The result is an opulent vampire film between myth, story and fantasy — full of excess, grotesque humor and artistic images. The dialogues are by Elfriede Jelinek, among others, and Lars Eidinger is also part of the ensemble. - Mit „Die Blutgräfin“ kehrt die Regisseurin Ulrike Ottinger auf die Berlinale zurück.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Silent Friend director Ildikó Enyedi and lead actor Tony Leung, moderated by TIME film critic Stephanie Zacharek. Silent Friend is currently playing daily at Film at Lincoln Center. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/friend Ildikó Enyedi, whose On Body and Soul won the Golden Bear at the 2017 Berlinale and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best International Feature Film, returns with a century-spanning triptych that moves from 1908 to the early months of the pandemic, unfolding around an ancient ginkgo in the botanical garden of Marburg University, the fixed witness to a century's worth of passing faces. From a young woman forcing her way into the male-dominated scientific establishment at the dawn of the 20th century to idealistic lovers in the politically turbulent 1970s, Enyedi considers how consciousness itself is historically situated, mapping the incremental rewiring of how people think and connect over time. Tony Leung anchors the 2020 chapter with a characteristically subtle, deeply felt performance as a visiting neuroscientist stranded on campus during lockdown, whose attempt to measure the tree's electromagnetic signals—guided remotely by a French plant biologist, played by Léa Seydoux—gradually opens into a meditation on perception itself.

Anke Plättner spricht mit dem ehemaligen Berlinale-Direktor Dieter Kosslick über seine Leidenschaft für das Kino, prägende Momente aus 18 Jahren Berlinale und den Einfluss gesellschaftlicher Debatten auf die Filmwelt.

In questa puntata speciale di Spin-Off, Federico e Fabrizio raccontano la loro esperienza al Festival di Cannes 2026, tra film visti in sala, incontri ravvicinati con il mondo del cinema, red carpet, organizzazione spesso caotica e inevitabile confronto con la Berlinale. Si parla di tutto quello che rende Cannes un festival unico — dal prestigio mediatico alla presenza di star, fino alla sensazione di essere davvero dentro il cuore dell'industria — ma anche dei suoi limiti più evidenti: il sistema dei biglietti, le code infinite, la gestione degli accessi, gli orari spesso sballati e un'esperienza stampa tutt'altro che semplice. Nel finale arrivano anche i top 3 e i flop 3 film visti durante il festival, tra sorprese, delusioni e un titolo che ha messo d'accordo tutti più degli altri.

We went around the world for this Out Takes, featuring some of the latest queer films on offer this May from Chile, Germany and the UK . With the 2026 HSBC German Film Festival back on in Melbourne until May 28, we had the opportunity to speak with director Faraz Shariat about their film ‘Prosecution’ which is one of the featured Australian Premieres in this year’s festival. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Berlinale, ‘Prosecution’ is described an engrossing tale of good versus evil that cleverly combines legal drama and thriller for a powerful and urgent story about the realities of Germany's judicial system. Our exclusive interview with Faraz Shariat saw us cover a wide range of topics related to the film and its exploration of queerness for the main character. We also reviewed ‘The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo‘, an intense and at times fantastical drama written and directed by Diego Céspedes that is streaming now on Mubi. The film unfolds in the early 1980’s in Chile in a dusty mining town nestled in the Atacama Desert, where eleven-year-old Lidia is the only child raised in a household of queer performers working at a local cantina. With his widely acclaimed feature debut, Céspedes emerges as a distinctive cinematic voice, crafting a poetic vision of love and resilience that also reflects the marginalisation and violence faced by queer communities today. Our final review for this program was ‘Mother Mary’, directed by David Lowery and featuring an incredible all female ensemble cast including Michaela Coel, Anne Hathaway, Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber and FKA Twigs, the film explores the complicated professional and personal relationship between iconic pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) who reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance. ‘Mother Mary’ is in cinemas now and features original music written and produced by Charli XCX, FKA Twigs and Jack Antonoff and sang by Anne Hathaway. The post German Film Festival with special guest Faraz Shariat and reviews of The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo and Mother Mary appeared first on Out Takes.

Recorded at the 2026 edition of the Berlin International Film Festival, this episode sees Naemi Victoria catching up with two impactful and thought-provoking films screening at the festival.First, she speaks with filmmaker Fanny Texier about her powerful short A Woman's Place Is Everywhere, which won The Silver Bear Jury Prize for Best Short Film. Set in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the film identical twin sisters Emilija and Ona as they face grief, looming eviction and an uncertain future after the sudden death of their mother. Then, Naemi is joined by director Fil Ieropoulos and writer Foivos Dousos to discuss Uchronia, a bold and visually expansive docu-essay inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's Une Saison en Enfer. The film follows the ghost of the French poet on a time-travelling journey through alternative histories, revolutionary politics and queer resistance.A Woman's Place Is Everywhere Identical twin sisters Emilija and Ona have lived in a rent-controlled warehouse loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for as long as they can remember. After the sudden death of their mother – a Lithuanian artist and dancer who first called the loft home in the 1970s – they find themselves on the brink of eviction. The neighbourhood has transformed; the landlord wants them out. Adding to the turmoil, Ona discovers she is pregnant. Fanny TexierThe documentary filmmaker was born in Paris, France and is now based in Brooklyn. She studied journalism at the University of Montreal and has a master's degree from the Sorbonne. As a feminist director, she is drawn to intimate and unusual stories, particularly those of women and individuals who are under-represented in traditional media. Her work has been presented by organisations including HBO, Netflix, “The New Yorker”, the BBC and Showtime. She recently participated in the Film at Lincoln Center Artists Academy and the newportFILM lab to develop her debut feature-length documentary.UchroniaIn this docu-essay inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's “Une Saison en Enfer”, we meet the French poet's ghost embarking on a time-travel adventure. His delirious visions become portals opening onto alternative timelines – or “uchronias”. Rimbaud gains the opportunity to meet revolutionary figures such as Emma Goldman, David Wojnarowicz and Marsha P. Johnson. Together, they explore the possibility of social change and reflect on the meaning of revolution in times of disillusionment. Inspired by the rich history of 20th-century experimental queer cinema, the film is a celebration of enfants terribles and dissident freaks across the globe. Ultimately, the film considers the current political milieu and its parallels with Rimbaud's own time. Could post-internet ennui and widespread defeatism be understood through the eyes of a late 19th-century decadent poet? Fil Ieropoulos, DirectorFil studied film, cultural studies and communication in the UK, completing a PhD in film poetry at the University of Kent in 2010. Since 2003, he has been a senior lecturer at Buckinghamshire New University, teaching video art, film theory and animation.

His second feature, Avant-Drag!, premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and has been selected for over 70 international festivals, earning a Special Jury Mention at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival.Foivos Dousos, WriterFoivos completed his PhD on narcissism in new media cultures in 2019. He was a contributing curator for the Athens Biennale and was a founding member of Sound Acts Festival, the Athens Museum of Queer Arts (AMOQA) and the publishing initiative Queer Ink. In his creative practice as part of the artistic duo FYTA, he has performed in Athens, Geneva, Berlin and London.

Ep. 392: Ildiko Enyedi on her new film Silent Friend, tree time, the everlasting serenity of Tony Leung, and theories of consciousness Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Silent Friend is the latest feature from filmmaker Ildiko Enyedi, whose On Body and Soul won the Golden Bear at the 2017 Berlinale and was an Oscar nominee. Like the Hungarian director's debut feature, My Twentieth Century (1989), Silent Friend is her latest ambitious work, spanning three time periods: 1908, when the first female student at a German university attempts to begin her studies; 1972, when a student finds the activities of a geranium far more intriguing than protests; and 2020, when a visiting professor (played by Tony Leung) conducts experiments around plant consciousness. What ties the eras together is a giant, beautiful gingko tree, in a film that's equally a work of ideas, sensuous textures, and youthful experience. I had the pleasure of chatting with Enyedi during her visit to New York for the release of Silent Friend, and the conversation fairly quickly went into the realm of deep tree thoughts.

Entre 2016 et 2018, la Turquie a vécu sous état d'urgence dans la foulée de la tentative de coup d'État du 15 juillet 2016. Pendant cette période, des milliers de professeurs, enseignants et syndicalistes turcs opposés au régime du président Recep Tayyip Erdogan ont été limogés. Accusés d'avoir des liens avec des organisations terroristes, ils avaient été mis au ban de la société. Récompensé de l'Ours d'or du Meilleur film de la Berlinale 2026, Yellow Letters, le long-métrage d'İlker Çatak, se penche sur leur sort et réveille de douloureux souvenirs chez ces anciens membres du corps enseignant. De notre correspondante à Ankara, Can Irmak Özinanir, 44 ans, cligne des yeux à la sortie du cinéma. Il vient de voir le film Yellow Letters dont il entend parler depuis plusieurs jours. Cet ancien universitaire a été limogé par décret-loi en 2017 en Turquie. Ce film raconte en partie son histoire, ces années de flou, dans l'attente d'une décision de justice favorable. « L'incertitude, c'est le sentiment dominant ces dernières années. Ne jamais savoir ce qu'il va se passer. Et c'est une période d'incertitude qui s'installe dans le temps long. Il y a des périodes où j'avais une grande confiance en moi car nous avons bénéficié d'une grande solidarité. Mais il y a aussi des périodes où je me suis senti très seul et où cela s'est traduit par de la colère envers mon entourage », raconte Can Irmak Özinanir.

Mustafa Kemal Çoşkun, 56 ans, fait partie des universitaires limogés par décret-loi. Il a fini par être réintégré il y a trois ans, après plusieurs années de petits boulots. « Quand on est communiste, on apprend vite. J'ai appris beaucoup de choses. Par exemple, après avoir été limogé, j'ai monté un cabinet d'études. Après, j'ai repassé les concours d'entrée à l'université d'Ankara et j'ai intégré la faculté d'informatique. J'ai appris la programmation. J'ai aussi appris un programme Da Vinci Resolve. Je me suis mis à mon bureau et j'ai appris. On a pas besoin de l'État pour vivre, pour survivre », confie-t-il. À lire aussiLe réalisateur allemand Ilker Çatak en un mot, un geste et un silence Aucune décision de justice ne fera justice Au centre d'Ankara, dans le quartier de Kizilay, le bar Zurafa a ouvert ses portes il y a un peu plus d'un an. C'est Veli Sacilik, 49 ans, qui le gère avec sa compagne. Amputé de son bras droit lors d'un séjour en prison, c'est le seul métier qu'il peut faire aujourd'hui, assure-t-il. Comme de nombreux fonctionnaires, il a perdu son travail pendant l'état d'urgence. Alors, quand Yellow Letters est sorti, il a tenu à emmener sa fille de 15 ans voir le film : « J'ai emmené ma fille voir le film car elle a aujourd'hui le même âge que le personnage d'Ezgi dans le film, et qu'elle a vécu des périodes très similaires. Je voulais qu'elle comprenne ce que son père et sa mère avaient traversé. » Comme d'autres limogés, Veli Sacilik accuse la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme de les avoir abandonnés à leur sort. La Cour avait en effet stipulé que toutes les voies internes de justice devaient être épuisées avant d'examiner leurs dossiers. Pour l'heure, les réintégrations se font au compte-gouttes. Certains ont repris les chemins de l'université, d'autres attendent encore une décision du Conseil d'État. Mais ils l'assurent : aucune décision de justice ne leur rendra ces dix années d'errance.

Seguimos con la cobertura desde el Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara y la que en mi opinión es la mejor película que he visto en el festival tenemos una temática sin pelos en la lengua con Truly Naked.Una de las mejores cintas que vi en este festival vino del panorama internacional con la cinta holandesa dirigida y escrita por Muriel d'Ansembourg. La misma, desde el poster, y desde el primer minuto, te muestra escenas de sexo explícito pero que en lugar de caer en lo vulgar, son mostradas por una mirada cercana pero en cierto sentido mecánica, ya que vienen por parte del ojo de Alec, un chico preparatoriano que trabaja en la industria del porno ya que es el fotógrafo y editor de los videos hechos por su padre. Este planteamiento ya traería algunos resquemores en la cinta que se presentó primero en la Berlinale, ya que hay tabúes como el pensar en nuestros padres teniendo relaciones sexuales, ahora imagina que tú eres quien además las registra para lucrar con ellas en el negocio familiar. En la historia, por un trabajo escolar, es que Alec (Caolán O'Gorman) tendrá que relacionarse con Nina (Safiya Benaddi) para hacer un trabajo de investigación, enfocado en la adicción al internet, específicamente con el porno. La vida personal (y laboral) de Alec es algo muy separado de su vida escolar, y poco a poco se abre a Nina, con quien empieza una relación sentimental, al tiempo que confronta su estilo de vida con las visiones alrededor. La cinta trata a sus personajes con respeto, mostrando defectos y virtudes, sin idealizar ni criticar los estilos de vida. Hay un genuino amor entre la familia, así como genuinos cuestionamientos sobre sus interacciones. El feminismo idealista estudiantil se confronta con la practicidad y camino recorrido de una actriz porno, en donde te cuestiona por quejarte y no hablar directamente para expresar los desacuerdos. Me llama la atención ver comentarios de personas que dicen que la cinta trata de manera superficial ciertos temas relacionados con el porno, y es algo de lo que yo me he quejado en otras películas como Pleasure, pero curiosamente aquí no encuentro esto como un defecto, ya que el entorno del porno es precisamente eso, el entorno de una historia más personal con un coming of age y la maduración de nuestros personajes. Definitivamente, una de las dos mejores cintas que vi en este Festival, y de las agradables sorpresas que me recuerdan porqué me gusta venir a ver cosas que no encontraré en otros lados.

Tawfik Sabouni breaks down his Berlinale-bound documentary Other Side of the Sun and how it grew out of lived experience, from filming protests during the Syrian revolution to imprisonment, exile, and ultimately shaping that reality into his first feature. He doesn't separate fiction and nonfiction, approaching cinema as one language built around truth and urgency.The film follows survivors returning to the prison where they were held, using reenactment to access memory rather than spectacle. Built around faces instead of events, it focuses on the human imprint of trauma, with the process itself forcing Sabouni to confront experiences he nearly walked away from.Drawing from filmmakers like Rithy Panh (The Missing Picture) and Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing), the film blends personal testimony with cinematic form. The takeaway is clear: tell the stories that matter, especially the ones others would rather ignore.What Movies Are You Watching?This episode is brought to you by BeastGrip.

Belgian filmmaker Frederike Migom breaks down her Berlinale premiere Everyone's Sorry Nowadays, a coming-of-age story set almost entirely inside a single home and a young girl's mind. The film explores identity through a tightly contained structure, blending realism with imagined sequences that bring the character's inner world to life.She talks through her unconventional path into directing, from acting and production work to navigating Europe's state-funded film system. A key turning point came not from making films, but from receiving funding, the moment she says she finally felt “allowed” to call herself a director. The conversation digs into adapting a novel, working within creative limitations, and why fear is an unavoidable part of the process. Migom cites films like Boy, Arizona Dream, the work of Céline Sciamma and Andrea Arnold, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as touchstones for balancing realism with subjectivity. She also shares a simple philosophy that carried her through: feel the fear, do it anyway - and trust that the process will lead you where you need to go.What Movies Are You Watching?This episode is brought to you by BeastGrip.

Von Buchhandlungspreis bis zur Berlinale. Die Liste der Konflikte um Wolfram Weimer ist lang, der Protest aus der Kulturszene laut. Plant der ehemalige Verleger einen konservativen "Vibe Shift"? Fehlt ihm Handwerkszeug für Politik? Lindner, Nadine; Balzer, Vladimir; Koldehoff, Stefan

Es ist wieder Leipziger Buchmesse. Alles blickt auf die neuen Bücher. Doch geht es in diesem Jahr um mehr als das Literarische. Im Vorfeld der Messe hat Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer erneut eine neue Debatte über staatliche Eingriffe in den Kulturbetrieb ausgelöst. Wegen “verfassungsschutz-relevanter Erkenntnisse" strich er drei linke Buchläden von der Liste für den Deutschen Buchhandlungspreis, der inzwischen abgesagt wurde. Die Branche ist sauer und die betroffenen Buchhandlungen wollen vor Gericht ziehen. Kurz nach der Aufregung um die Berlinale geht es in der Kritik am parteilosen Minister erneut um die Frage, wie sich Institutionen politisch positionieren dürfen, wenn sie staatliche Unterstützung bekommen? Wer darf wie sprechen, bestimmt, was gesagt werden darf und welche Kultur gefördert wird? Und inwieweit darf der Verfassungsschutz Kulturschaffende durchleuchten? Auch in dieser Debatte geht es um einen vieldiskutierten “Kulturkampf”. Also Streitereien um Werte, Sprache und Deutungshoheit. Doch geht es dabei längst nicht mehr nur um Kunst und Kultur. Kritisiert wird ein politisches Muster - auch eines der Empörung - und dem will “Der Tag” nachgehen. Im Gespräch mit dem Vorsteher des Börsenvereins des deutschen Buchhandels Sebastian Guggolz, der Politologin und Autorin Saba-Nur Cheema, dem Staatsrechtler Alexander Thiele und dem Literaturwissenschaftler der German Studies an der Stanford University in Kalifornien, Adrian Daub.

Some of the best, most boundary-pushing cinema at the Berlinale is quietly tucked away in the sidebars where most of the press never look. In today's episode, I'm looking at three films that feel like a step forward for women's stories: Arrú: A Sámi musical from Norway Black Burns Fast: A queer South African coming-of-age story directed by a Black woman The Education of Jane Cumming: A Scottish period drama based on the first documented legal case involving accusations of lesbians in the UK Taken together, these show how filmmakers are finding new ways to dramatize the systems shaping women's lives — from colonial land politics to the legacy of apartheid to the class and racial hierarchies of the 19th century.

Take one step into the world of festivals and you'll understand that making a movie isn't just "making a movie." Even if one has the fortune to get some money for the script they've slaved over, get some actors in front of a camera, and survive the labyrinthine editing process, a veritable mountain of tasks faces those hoping to actually get the thing up and running. I might not know anybody who's better-learned in these spaces than my friend Gabe Klinger, who has worked in festivals, programming, criticism, and filmmaking, with his third feature, Isabel, debuting at this year's Berlinale.

Celebrating the women's fight for equality and liberation, we speak with acclaimed director Yvonne Vavrová about her experience as a female filmmaker starting out in the 1980s and about the challenges her students face today in the 2020s. Slovak film producer Matej Sotník explains why he joined the co-production of If Pigeons Turned to Gold, which has just won the Best Documentary Award at Berlinale 2026. The film's director, Pepa Lubojacki, adds her perspective. We also share a few tips for cultural events for English-speaking audiences, including the Visegrad Film Forum and the Konvergencie festival.

Prezident ve Sněmovně varoval před stagnací výdajů na obranu. Projev prezidenta ve Sněmovně: doprovodné jevy. Zase se střílí v Perském zálivu. Co k tomu řeknou u benzínové pumpy? A co na to ruská ropa? Trump útokem na Írán ztrácí skalní spojence. Berlinale zmítané politikou (a filmem). Moderuje Jan Fingerland.

Ani ve filmu není ze současné politiky úniku. Minulý víkend předal jeden z největších filmových festivalů na světě, Berlinale, své ceny. I když je považovaný za nejpolitičtější festival na světě, letos byl politikou doslova zmítán na všechny strany.

Ep. 384: Eric Hynes on Chronicles of a Siege, Yo Love Is a Rebellious Bird, Soumsoum the Night of the Stars, Dao, Bucks Harbor, Tristan Forever Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. At the end of this year's edition of the Berlinale, I talked with curator Eric Hynes of the Jacob Burns Film Center about a few films that screened later in the schedule and therefore might be overlooked. Titles discussed include Chronicles of a Siege, Yo (Love Is a Rebellious Bird), Soumsoum, the Night of the Stars, Bucks Harbor, Tristan Forever, and my guest's absolute highlight, Dao (Alain Gomis). As a small programming note, this episode was recorded last month. Please support the production of this podcast by signing up at: rapold.substack.com Photo by Steve Snodgrass

DW's investigative journalist Alican Uludag arrested in Turkey, four years of war in Ukraine, and Ukraine's freedom song. Then: what Quentin Deranque's killing might mean for the French Left, Turkey's earthquake anniversary, the Berlinale Teddy Award turns 40, and an art exhibition exposes Robert Fico's tightening grip on Slovak cultural institutions.

Wie immer diskutieren wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms aktuelle Ereignisse. Wir beginnen mit der Entscheidung Frankreichs, dem US-Botschafter den Kontakt zu Regierungsministern zu verwehren. Anschließend sprechen wir über die äußerst kritische Haltung vieler EU-Politiker zur fehlenden Unterstützung der USA für die Ukraine inmitten der russischen Aggression. Aus europäischer Sicht wirkt es wie ein Verrat, dass die USA der Ukraine den Rücken kehren. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil sprechen wir über weltraumgestützte Solarenergie, die unabhängig von Wetter und Tageszeit zuverlässig umweltfreundlichen Strom liefern kann. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil unseres heutigen Programms mit einer Diskussion über die Berlinale. Das Filmfestival hat wegen seines Umgangs mit politisch brisanten Themen für Kontroversen gesorgt. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Latin-Based (-ieren) Verbs: Part 1. In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde, nicht zuletzt durch die Medien, das Bild geprägt, dass es in der DDR systematische, politisch motivierte Zwangsadoptionen gegeben habe, deren Opfer insbesondere Regimekritiker waren. Eine Studie hat dies nun widerlegt. Einzelfälle werden allerdings nicht ausgeschlossen. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach der Liebe Ihres Lebens sind, da Ihre romantische Situation aus dem letzten Loch pfeift, sollten Sie vielleicht einen Brief an die Bräutigamseiche in Schleswig-Holstein schreiben, den sogenannten Liebesbaum! Aus dem letzten Loch pfeifen ist auch unsere Redewendung diese Woche. Viel Glück! Frankreich verweigert US-Botschafter Zugang zu Regierungsministern Der Verrat der USA an der Ukraine verdeutlicht die neue politische Weltordnung Kann Solarstrom aus dem All Europas Energieprobleme lösen? Berlinale 2026 – überschattet von einer Kontroverse über Politik im Kino Keine Zwangsadoptionen in der DDR Der Liebesbaum

On this episode of Vibe Check, Saeed and Zach break down the political drama surrounding the Berlin Film Festival 2026 (Berlinale).
