– At the Berlinale, there will be a lot of cinema despite the constraints

The 72^e Berlin Film Festival promises to be exciting, with two Swiss films in competition, but also very restrictive from a health point of view.

As of Thursday evening, the Berlinale red carpet is redeploying.

DR

Daily antigenic tests imposed on journalists, including those who received the three doses of vaccine, mandatory reservations for all sessions, conferences and other appointments, gauge halved, FFP2 masks needed, film market canceled and festival reduced to seven days instead of ten. Who can say what this 72 will look like^e Berlinale, which promises to be as drastic as it is binding? Will we have easy access to the films and will we talk regarding them as much as regarding a pandemic from which we no longer see the outcome?

While the festival starts this Thursday – until Wednesday the 16th for the list, followed by four days for the public, who will not have earlier access to the event -, the concerns are therefore more sanitary than cinematic. We hope that the trend will reverse.
