Highlighting the struggle still faced by many in screening films which discuss LGBT issues, and the very real danger of harassment to audiences attending them, Verena Von Stackelberg reports on Wednesday's incident, presented here in solidarity with independent cinema exhibitors in Romania and beyond.
I'm walking to my first film of the day, Pard, on a new sprinkling of snow. The venue is Haus der Berliner Festipiele, a 1960's glass fronted arts centre primarily used for theatrical runs and concerts.
Considering it was Valentine's Day yesterday, I suggest you read Sarah Bournes post from Berlinale 2013... Sea food sexy?
Right, let's get to it!
I set my alarm last night with best intentions of getting up bright and early to get some tickets in my pocket, but, a few hits of the snooze button put pay to that idea.
My main purpose for going to Berlin is to spread the good word about our Developing Your Film Festival course (did I mention we've just launched the 2013 edition?) but there is a big added bonus of watching some films while I'm here. This will be my very first Berlinale, actually my very first time in Berlin or Germany, so I'm a complete novice.
