Berlinale Note

On Freedom of Speech and the Safety of Our Filmmakers at the Berlinale

As we plan for the next edition, we hear that there has been uncertainty and confusion about how the Berlinale protects free speech and the safety of our filmmakers in the festival. We want to take this opportunity to clarify the policies that have been – and continue to – govern our work in practice.
