Berlinale Special 2025: First Titles
Mala Emde in Köln 75 by Ido Fluk
From genre thrills to documentaries, and glamourous Red Carpet galas, the Berlinale Special is one of the most diverse sections of the Berlinale. Here is a sneak peak of the first three world premieres confirmed for Berlinale Special: German director Jan-Ole Gerster presents Islands, a neo-noir thriller starring Sam Riley and Stacy Martin. Director-duo Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli deliver a genius genre mash-up with the Canadian film Honey Bunch. Both films are presented as Latenight Specials. And the first confirmed Berlinale Special Gala is Köln 75, a German production that stars Mala Emde, John Magaro and Alexander Scheer. Ido Fluk has directed a film about the teenaged producer of jazz legend Keith Jarrett’s famous Cologne concert.
