Berlinale 2008 - 1
It starts.
The 2008 Berlinale Forum will open on February 8, 2008 with films by Guy Maddin and Isabella Rossellini.
The Berlin festival includes international premiers of Guy Maddin’s new film My Winnipeg and Isabella Rossellini’s short film Green Porno.
From the press release (links added): Guy Maddin is one of the most idiosyncratic and best-known filmmakers in Canada. Isabella Rossellini and Maddin regularly work on joint projects, the two are also already familiar to the Berlinale audience as a creative team. Their joint film My Dad Is 100 Years Old could be seen as a Berlinale Special in 2006. It was an homage to Roberto Rossellini, the actress’ father. Recently, in the Berlinale Forum 2007, the two presented a highlight of the festival with the spectacular staging of Maddin’s “Brand Upon the Brain!” at the Deutsche Oper.
