Events

For more than 50 years the Berlinale Forum has engaged in thinking about the medium of film, setting discourses in motion, accompanying aesthetic strategies in analytical fashion and discussing the role of cinema in society. Q&As with the filmmakers and extended film talks with guests take place after most of the Forum film screenings. The following panel discussions complement this year's programme.
