Berlinale 2019 and the winner is...


Who knows the difference: films in competition, panorama, forum? Or Perspektive Deutsches Kino and Berlinale Special? But we approach the programme in a playful way, just like a video store should. After all, they're not just fans of film scholars! President is the great Juliette Binoche, who has a close connection to the Berlinale anyway. Her early films of Leos Carax were already shown in Berline and here she also received a Silver Bear. This vintage 2019 is also a special one because Dieter Kosslick takes his famous hat. After 18 years! But before that he has to endure enough orga stress, whether with the People's Republic of China, since the last Zhang Yimou film was allegedly not finished, or with Netflix, who are nothing but the enemies of all cinemas, video stores and film lovers. That's why Netflix films are allowed - 2 days? A week? - They run almost invisibly in the cinema and are then hidden in their trashed catalogue. Poor Isabel Coixet! She will never know whether people liked her film at all! Here is a collection of the most interesting films - for us from the Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo. We limit ourselves to ten; this is not a value judgement at all. They are only fans!
