Got to love that German efficiency! The booth build out was a breeze... Dear HR please import some German talent for DTFF 2011. Thanks!
So it went, birthdays, reunions and business...
What about them screenings?! Waiting in ticket lines all morning was out of the question so, we dominated Berlinale's online ticketing (the system has a few kinks...) but fortunately after all the financing booklets were handed out, we even managed to see a few films...
- Shibuya Minoru Retrospective: Doctor's Day Off, Modern People, Righteousness and The Days of Evil Women
- Paula Markovitch's, El Premio (The Prize)
- Asghar Fahardi's, Nader and Simin, A Separation which went on to win this year's Golden Bear award.
- Miranda July's, The Future
- Vishal Bhardwaj's, 7 Sins Forgiven which sadly Patricia and I missed because our DHL truck was hijacked by another EFM booth.
