Berlin International Film Festival

Known as the Berlinale for short, this is one of Europe's most important film festivals. Screenings of the latest international releases are held at the capital's top cinemas. Films compete for the coveted Golden and Silver Bears.

Founded in 1951 on an American-led Cold War initiative, the festival has outgrown its original remit to become one of the region's leading film events. It has long hosted world-class filmmakers; Ingmar Bergman, Satyajit Ray, Michelangelo Antonioni, Roman Polanski and the leading directors of the French Nouvelle Vogue - Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut and Claude Chabrol - have all enjoyed notable triumphs in Berlin.
