Aside from their Berlinale Panel on the Perspectives of Young Filmmakers, Dffb had one of the most fun parties of the festival as the school’s director Ben Gibson and the staff mingled with film students and young filmmakers from around the world.
Berlinale Panel on the perspectives of young filmmakers covered such issues as:
What are the possibilities for up-and-coming producers to establish themselves independently on the market beyond the first and second films? What are the biggest obstacles? What do the young people’s promotion strategies of the different actors do? Which changes are necessary? And last but not least: How important is the offspring for the future of the German film industry and for German film?
The panel engaged in dialogue about the current status quo and exchanged perspectives, and also developed ideas that could give young talent the opportunities to shape the industry in the future creatively.

Talkin’ Terrorism with Uli Edel
by Jon Zelazny
Director Uli Edel and writer-producer Bernd Eichinger met at the Munich Film School in the late sixties, and went on to collaborate on two gritty cult classics, the German Christiane F. (1981) and Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989).
In 2008, they reunited for The Baader Meinhof Complex, a chronicle of the domestic terrorism that plagued West Germany in the 1970’s. It was nominated for a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award, and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The Constantin/Vitagraph Films release opens this Friday, August 21st, in New York and on August 28th in Los Angeles.
Uli Edel and I met at his home in West Los Angeles.
The terrorist movement in Western Europe essentially began in 1968. What was that year like for you?
Uli Edel: I was just starting my studies in Munich. And when I came there,...

Remember when terrorism was cool? No?
Then check out The Baader Meinhof Complex, a fascinating, eye-opening, and sometimes disturbing look at the formation of the Red Army Faction (Raf), the terrorist group that reached its peak in the 1970s.
Most historical dramas strive for factual accuracy over good storytelling, trying to cram every known fact into the screenplay with no regard for building nuanced, empathetic characters (see Ray or Munich for examples of this).
While The Baader Meinhof Complex eventually falls into that trap, the first hour and a half is powerful and emotionally engaging as the film follows journalist Ulrike Meinhof (played by Martina Gedeck) as her coverage of the tumultuous German political scene leads to her obsession with the growing terrorist group.
Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin
Andreas Baader (played by Moritz Bleibtreu) is the hot-blooded leader. His passion and anger drive the group to action but also...
