Berlinale Forum: Films and Discussions

Screenings and Discussions as part of the 69. Berlinale 

In 2019, Forum and Forum Expanded will be using the Kuppelhalle at silent green Kulturquartier as a screening venue for the very first time. From February 8th-13th, this temporary cinema space will also host panel discussions following each screening with the filmmakers and other invited guests, which are intended to go beyond the scope of a standard Q&A and pick up and explore themes and discourses from the films.
