Film still from THE MAN I LOVED: Two women in beachwear and hats look at themselves in a mirror.

Forum & Friends

Following the Berlinale—from February 27 to February 29 –, the program „Forum & Friends“ shows selected films from the main program and Special – and extends them beyond the festival line-up.

Film still from "Shahid" by Narges Kalhor. It shows a man in front of a printed screen illuminated by a spotlight. To his left is a man sitting at the drums.

The awards from the independent juries for the Forum 2024

In addition to the Silver and Golden Bears, various independent juries award prizes at the Berlinale. Forum and Forum Expanded films received several awards.

The Forum and Forum Expanded program 2024

  • Film still from "Oasis of Now" by Chee Sum Chia. It shows a close-up of two hands on a concrete staircase.

    The Forum Program 2024

    In ever-darkening times across the globe amid hardening discourses, the films of the 54th Berlinale Forum emphatically engage with what it means to be human.

  • Film still from Hicham Gardaf’s film “In Praise of Slowness”. A person walks through a dry, barren landscape holding a mountain of empty plastic bottles on their back. To the right of the frame is what seems to be a large signpost, however we only see it from behind.

    The Forum Expanded Program 2024

    The 19 films, installations and performances of the Forum Expanded program draw our attention to communities – their constitution, the breaking points they face and the dangers and constraints to which they are exposed to.

Exploring the Voiceover in Film

A close-up of two men. The first is standing with his back to the camera, the second can be seen in left side profile. It is dark and foggy. They are illuminated from the left.

Filmmakers on the Voiceover in Film

Many films in our programmes explore the possibilities of the voiceover. We asked filmmakers who screened at recent editions of the Forum and Forum Expanded to write about this cinematographic technique, with their answers running the full gamut from the analytical to the personal, from the general to the specific and from the lyrical to the concrete – each text the product of a unique voice.
