The 2017 Berlinale Bloggers
Berlin will be playing host to the world of film when the 67th Berlinale comes to town from 9 to 19 February 2017. On behalf of the Goethe-Institut, twelve bloggers and film journalists from around the world will be our Berlinale Bloggers, reporting on the international film festival from a multinational perspective.
What makes the Berlinale special for the Brazilian blogger, and how does her view differ from the Italian perspective? And what strikes the Australian blogger as interesting about the German submissions? Which trends in the film world make the Spanish journalist optimistic? And what does the blogger from the UK think about this? To what extent do the experts feel influenced by their own cultural background?
The 2017 Berlinale Bloggers are from Egypt, Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, Norway, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. A multinational team, they will be out and about in Berlin, searching for fascinating stories in the cinema theatres and behind the festival scenes. They will be jointly reflecting on their impressions against the backdrop of their own cultures.

The 67th Berlinale is over, so what main impressions has it left on our Berlinale Bloggers? Three issues preoccupied all of them equally: the question of identity, reflections upon now and then, and a critical look at borders.
We also support sound film reviews with the press programme Berlinale Talents - a joint project of Berlinale Talents, the Goethe-Institut and the international film critics association FIPRESCI.
