The 2022 Berlin International Film Festival revealed December 15 its first titles for Berlinale Special, Panorama, Generation and Forum sections.
“The pandemic has created distances – not only between people but also the way we see the world. Amongst the 2022 selection are films shot during the pandemic, reflecting on how it feels to be disconnected from others. It is with this first batch of films that we want to highlight the power of cinema as a tool that connects people, places and times ahead,“ commented Artistic Director of the Berlinale, Carlo Chatrian.
