"Etableringen av Berlin Filmfestival er en politisk handling", sa politikeren Willy Brandt året 1951, da festivalen ble arrangert for første gang. "Den symboliserer denne byens vilje til å overleve", fortsatte han med kraft og selvsikkerhet på nyhetsrullen som ble vist under åpningsarrangementet. Festivalen ble en viktig del av gjenoppbyggingen av byen etter krigen. I 2010 feirer den altså sitt 60. års jubileum, med celebre gjester og salutter.
The film The Stoning of Soraya M portrays the brutal and oppressive life of women in an Iranian village.
Stoning as punishment is still practiced in some Moslem countries, including Iran. The Stoning of Soraya M is an adaptation of the 1994 book of the same name. It is based on a real story and because of the book’s critical attitude towards the Iranian judicial system it was banned in that country.
The Story
The Stoning of Soraya M depicts a society where males can do whatever they want while females are left with no rights. The film has been screened at a number of film festivals and it won the Audience Award during the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Films spark emotions
See the world from a different angle. When films discuss provocative, difficult and topical issues, they spark emotions and create reflection and debate. Our programme section called The Critical Room presents precisely the type of films that explore controversial themes, which are then put in context through organised debates after the screenings.
