BERLIN'S FULL LINEUP ANNOUNCED

The Berlin International Film Festival has announced all of its lineup.  As frequent readers know, it iis very common for Telluride to program a film or two or three from the Berlin lineup.

Glancing at the films selected, a few caught my eye as suggesting the possibility of a Berlin play followed by a Labor Day bow in T-ride.

Xavier Beauvois' Drift Away

Daniel Bruhl's Next Door

Celine Sciamma's Petite Maman

Jim Cummings and P.J. McCabe's The Beta Test

Hong Sangsoo's Introduction

Berlin will be bifurcated with a protion of the fest happening in march and then a "Summer Special" scheduled in June.
