Berlin 2022

Eleven highly diverse docs are selected for a 2022 Berlinale Forum Main Programme designed to demonstrate the pull of precisely observed matter. “However much the pandemic may have paralysed life in our societies, filmmakers worldwide have lost none of their inventiveness and artistic desire. The works…are a dazzling demonstration of this,” say festival programmers.

First documentaries selected for Berlinale Special, Panorama, Generation and Forum sections, and include films by Magnus Gertten (Sweden), Olivia Rochette/Gerard-Jan Claes (Belgium) and Laurent Charbonnier/Michel Seydoux (France) and the Myanmar Film Collective. The selection “highlights the power of cinema as a tool that connects people, places and times ahead,” says Carlo Chatrian.
