EUNIC presents 60 Years of Golden Bears

The European Union National Institutes for Culture / EUNIC Berlin invites you on a very special journey into the history of the Berlin Film Festival from its start in 1951 to now. Fourteen cultural institutes present films from their countries, which over the past six decades have been awarded the Golden Bear, Berlin International Film Festival's main award. The wide selection comprises 30 features and shorts of all kinds of genres and styles. They will be shown on eight evenings at Arsenal between 13. September and 29. November, in the presence of many directors as well as the representatives of the specific cultural institutes. The season opens on 13.9 with DIE FRAU UND DER FREMDE (The Woman and the Stranger, GDR 1984) by Rainer Simon, who we are pleased to announce will attend the screening alongside János Can Togay, spokesman for EUNIC Berlin, and the head of the Berlinale, Dieter Kosslick.
