Berlinale"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Right now, from 10th to 20th of February, the 61st \u201eBerlinale\u201c takes place in &#8230;guess where? Right! In Berlin. The correct name for this j\u00e4hrliche (anual) happening is \u201eInternationale Filmfestspiele Berlin\u201c and it is one of the most important events of the Filmbranche (movie industry) worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The official Programm (program) shows about 400 movies. Mostly they are European or even World premiers. It is the biggest cultural event in Berlin, so every year, about 19.000 trade and business professionals from 128 countries akkreditieren (accredit) themselves for the festival (4.000 journalists among them). With 300.000 sold tickets, the Berlinale is not just a Treffpunkt (meeting place) for business people, no, it\u00b4s one of the biggest public festivals as well. As you can imagine, the whole city turns into a place of Kunst (art), glamour, party and\u00a0 business during that time.<\/p>\n<p>Artists from all over the world come to Berlin to face a diverse cinematic landscape, a critical public and a vielschichtige (multilayer) audience.<\/p>\n<p>The most important component of the festival ist the Wettbewerb (competition). The ceremonial highlight is the award of the \u201eB\u00e4ren\u201c (bears). Movies from all kinds of Kategorien (categories) are chosen by a comittee and about 20 of them will win. There is an international jury that gives the \u201eGoldener B\u00e4r\u201c to the best movie, the \u201eSilberner B\u00e4r\u201c goes to best Regisseur (director), best actor and so on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Since 2008 there\u00b4s also a \u201eSilberner B\u00e4r\u201c for best screenplay.<\/p>\n<p>This years Er\u00f6ffnungsfilm (opening movie) is called \u201eTrue Grit\u201c from the Coen brothers. It is as well nominated for 10 (!!!) Oscars, so I guess it\u00b4s not too bad.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I never had the chance to go to the Berlinale, but I think it\u00b4s really worth a trip to Berlin to see the latest movies, newest trends, extraordinary art and maybe some of the national and international celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>More information about the program and the festival itself can be found at <a title=\"berlinale.de\" href=\"http:\/\/www.berlinale.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.berlinale.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vocabulary:<\/p>\n<p>j\u00e4hrlich \u2013 anual<br \/>\ndie Fimbranche \u2013 movie industry<br \/>\ndas Programm \u2013 program<br \/>\nakkreditieren \u2013 to accredit<br \/>\nder Treffpunkt \u2013 meeting place<br \/>\ndie Kunst \u2013 art<br \/>\nvielschichtig \u2013 multilayer<br \/>\nder Wettbewerb \u2013 competition<br \/>\nder B\u00e4r \u2013 bear<br \/>\ndie Kategorie \u2013 category<br \/>\nder Regisseur &#8211; director<br \/>\nder Er\u00f6ffnungsfilm \u2013 opening movie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"180\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/german\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2011\/02\/bear.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p>Right now, from 10th to 20th of February, the 61st \u201eBerlinale\u201c takes place in &#8230;guess where?
