The 73rd Berlin International Film Festival kicked off with a four-hour celebration of cinema — one that got increasingly political as the hours ticked by.
The German festival has always mixed politics with art, and that intersection could not be avoided in 2023 as Russia’s war on Ukraine rages on and the citizens of Iran are imprisoned and executed by an extremist government over human rights. In between, veteran indie director Rebecca Miller offered up her latest, the marital dramedy “She Came to Me.”
“This regime lies … executes. The prisons of Iran are full of innocent people,” she said. “We need you to stand on the right side of history with the Iranian people. This regime will fall.” While thanking the Berlinale for “choosing” to ban creatives with ties to Russia, Zelenskyy ultimately concluded that “culture and cinema can be outside of politics, but not when it’s a policy of aggression, mass crimes, murder and terrorism. When it’s a policy of total war,” he said. Calling on his skills as a former actor and those of a smart script writer, the Ukrainian president earned his standing ovation.
Fleets of white Tesla cars and black BMWs, some emblazoned with the Uber logo, delivered the stars to the red carpet.
