The Berlin & Beyond Film Festival, with the support and collaboration of the Goethe-Institut San Francisco and the Special Projects and Unexpected Needs (SPUN) grant of Grants for the Arts, presents the virtual film festival, Berlin & Beyond in Focus, November 19-21, 2020. This program commemorates the heritage of Berlin & Beyond and its relevance and resonance with contemporary German cinema.
This completely free virtual event is also the official kick-off of Berlin & Beyond's 25th Anniversary Season, ahead of the main 25th Berlin & Beyond Film Festival, which is slated for April 29 - May 4, 2021.
Berlin & Beyond Director Sophoan Sorn: "This special program reflects Berlin & Beyond's steadfast endeavor to bring noteworthy works from German-speaking countries to San Francisco and the Bay Area, with powerful, eye-opening and deeply personal stories of perseverance, resilience, and togetherness."
Ten feature-length films will be shown in a scheduled format with live Q&As or as an on-demand program (some will include pre-recorded Q&As). Interactive highlights will include engaging panels and community conversations (to be announced in a separate release).
Most films are geo-blocked only for viewers in the Bay Area counties of San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and San Mateo. All films will have a limited number of viewers. Though the virtual screenings are free, ticket registration is required.
