Berlinale 2020

UK films and co-pros in selection

New programmers and new strands, there is a lot to look forward to at the upcoming Berlinale including all the UK films and co-productions in selection.

Sally Potter’s new film The Roads Not Taken, will premiere in Competition alongside Ilya Khrzhanovskiy and Jekaterina Oertel’s mulit-territory DAU. Natasha (Germany/Ukraine/UK/ Russian Federation). Khrzhanovskiy will also feature in the Berlinale Special Gala line-up with DAU. Degeneratsia (DAU. Degeneration), co-directed by Ilya Permyakov. Also enjoying a Special gala is Andrew Levitas’ Minamata.

Bassam Tariq’s Mogul Mowgli staring Riz Ahmed will enjoy its world premiere in the Panorama strand where it will join Surge, the debut feature from Aneil Karia. Director Rubika Shah returns to Berlinale with a feature length White Riot adapted from her previous short of the same name.

We are also delighted that national treasure Helen Mirren will be honoured by the Berlinale in the Homage strand.
