Berlin Film Festival Special

Talking Movies reports from the Berlin Film Festival where in February a lively slate of films was unveiled despite the city being in the midst of an Omicron wave. The team reports on the opening night film, Peter von Kant, from esteemed French filmmaker Francois Ozon. Emma Jones sits down with the Oscar winning British actress Emma Thompson lauded in Berlin for her portrayal of an older woman who becomes involved with a younger man in the film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. The programme visits the city's planetarium which was hosting for the first time a Berlinale film called White Sands Crystal Foxes - an experimental visually arresting work from Berlin based visual and performance artist Liz Rosenfeld. And the team venture inside Berlin's iconic Tempelhof Airport, which ceased operations fourteen years ago, to discover how its abandoned passenger hall is now being used as a popular pop-up cinema for movie fans.
