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.
