The 70th Berlin International Film Festival is in full swing and runs until Sunday. I have linked some posts from reporters covering the festival about specific films I have my eye on as possible players in as far as TFF #47 might be concerned.
From The Hollywood Reporter here are looks at:
Both films are set to bow in Germany on Friday.
Additionally, prior to its Berlin play, producers released a trailer for Philippe Garrel's The Salt of Tears. Here that is via YouTube:
ALso releasing a trailer for its Berlin appearance is Able Ferrara's Siberia. That is linked here also from YouTube:
NOW THERE IS MORE HISTORY
After a good deal of procrastination, I have started the expansion of the Expanded History of the Telluride Film Festival. For quite some time I have had the years from 2006 to the present represented in the Expanded History through links to the programs for those years that are housed at the Official TFF website.
I've been saying for some time that I would get the information from those years on the Expanded History page formatted as I have all of the years of the festival and just have been sluggish in getting that accomplished.
However, this past week, I actually cranked that up and added the text for 2006-2009. If you go to the Expanded History 1996-Present page you'll see that info displayed. Over the next few weeks I plan to get the rest of the last 13 years worth of text on that page as well.
Take look!
AND FINALLY...THE CRITICAL REACTION TO BERLIN FILMS
As has been the case for a few years, I'm looking at the critical tracking of films that play at the Berlin fest to get a sense of which films might be catching the eye of any Telluride programmer that might be in Germany at the this moment.
To that end I'm checking the critical consensus site:

Thus far, and it is incredibly early in as far as the critics' responses are concerned, the top film that I've had my eye on in terms of the critical combo is Matteo Garrone's Pinocchio. Christian Ptezold's Undine is also doing well in early critical response.
I'll check back in with the consensus on Thursday.
