This way you are guaranteed to get tickets for the Berlinale

1 Browse through the program

Descriptions of all films and series can be found on the Berlinale homepage. At www.berlinale.de you can mark your favorite films and organize them in a timetable. It was once even easier in the practical app, which the Berlinale abolished for whatever reason. If you prefer a more tactile experience, you can browse through the Berlinale program that can be browsed through, which was already included in the Tagesspiegel and is available in the participating cinemas and at Potsdamer Platz. Many Berlinale ultras create rankings of films that they definitely/maybe/under certain circumstances want to see. If you can’t find a ticket or time for a must-see film, swipe over to a maybe candidate. But you only see what he’s really like on the date in front of the screen.

When sorting out, it’s always best to follow the ranks, and the Berlinale has quite a few of them. The official competition is now also daring to do more unconventional things. The three-hour drama “Dao” from France, Senegal and Guinea-Bissau sounds quite promising. The program says about the film: “Actresses and non-actors are cast and brought together to celebrate a wedding together as relatives in Paris and to mourn the death of the head of their family together in Guinea-Bissau. As they travel back and forth between these two worlds, individual stories and shared cultural roots are interwoven through fact and fiction.”
