The main competition includes the Finnish "Nightborn" and the Turkish "Salvation", which is a co-production with Sweden. The Swedish "Doggerland" competes in the Forum section. The Western film "A Prayer for the Dying", which is shown in the Perspective section, has been co-produced by Norway, Sweden, England and Greece - with Gustav Lindh in a leading role.
The festival opens with “No Good Men,” a divorce drama from Afghanistan. Over the next ten days, a wide range of films from around the world will be screened.
The American blockbusters are conspicuous by their absence, but Charli XCX is coming to Berlin with “The Moment.” Juliette Binoche appears in “Queen of the Sea” and Isabelle Huppert plays a vampire in the German-language “Die Blutgräfin.”
