International Forum of New Cinema
The 39th Forum Presents a Programme Full of Connections, Contradictions, and Mirror Images
Playing with Fire, Gaps in Memory: The 39th Forum of the Berlinale will be showing a total of 48 films from 31 countries. The selection will take festival-goers around the world - not so much in terms of the number of countries represented, but rather in the abundant connections to be discovered between the films, their often shared concerns and kindred worldviews, as well as their contradictions and mirror images. Eleven films are debuts, 25 world premieres, and twelve international premieres.
