The Norwegian film “Drømmer” wins the Berlinale – the festival, which was once designed as the “shop window of the free world”. This year you could watch the free world crumbling there, and in the US industry there is a fear of censorship.
One would like to know what Todd Haynes and Olaf Scholz said about when they recently stood together on the balcony of the Federal Chancellery. Haynes, film director, known for “Carol”, told about the meeting when the Berlinale came to an end when the bear awards were awarded on Saturday evening, he was the president of this year's jury and was on the stage of the Galafeier. And there he told how Scholz invited the jury to “drinks” in his office. Be it nice. Then you stepped outside.
