Just another Berlinale day at Potzdamer Platz.
“We live in an era defined by enforced silence, not so much about the world’s harms, but about its reasons. This silence lies at the heart of our childlike existence. Cinema is being fenced in and turns a blind eye”, writes ICN’s Berlinale correspondent Haukur Már Helgason in his report from the festival. Topics include the festival mood, Mexican directors and the inanity of festival panel discussions, shorts, copyrights versus free expression and enjoyment, German documentarians worrying about lack of protests and a note on Potzdamer Platz.
