Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian announced seven films in all for next year’s festival with the remaining line-up due in mid-January.
“It is with special pleasure and pride that we welcome back directors who have presented their work at the festival in the past. Berlinale Special will be home for new films by Julia von Heinz (Treasure) and Tilman Singer (Cuckoo), both with projects involving American stars, for the irreverent comedy by the Zellner brothers (Sasquatch Sunset) and the dark universe of the first series by the D’Innocenzo brothers (Dostoevsky), and for the latest from masters Atom Egoyan (Seven Veils) and Tsai Ming-liang (Abiding Nowhere). We are happy to celebrate these films along with the great performances of Amanda Seyfried, Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry, Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg, Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens. And we are especially looking forward to welcoming back Carey Mulligan to Berlin, and, for the first time, Adam Sandler, representing Johan Renck’s Spaceman,” said Chatrian.
This year’s festival runs from 15th February to 25th February and is the 74th edition of the iconic international festival.
