Birth of an actor

The chairman of the meeting was the American director George Stevens. Stevens asked "OK" to withdraw from the competition. The other judges disagreed. A Berlin Film Festival failed to hand out any prizes.

The forum unit of the Berlin Film Festival was born one year after the "OK" film incident. It is specially used to show avant-garde and trendy films from various countries, including Soviet and Korean films, such as "The World of Senses", which was later elected as one of the top ten banned films in the world. "was screened in this unit.

Cold War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, women, children, LGBT, globalization, anti-terrorism... The political focus of the Berlin Film Festival always follows the changes of the current situation, and Berlin also consciously distances itself from mainstream Western American culture, such as After the discovery of AIDS in the 80s, the affirmative action movement in the United States was curbed, and anti-gay voices gained the upper hand. Then in [-], the Berlin Film Festival established the Teddy Bear Award, which was specially awarded to LGBT-themed films.To put it another way, "What Washington opposes, we support."

Therefore, "Milk" is indeed very much to the taste of Berlin, and the more "Milk" is targeted in the United States, the more Berlin will welcome them.

In late February, the coldest film festival in the world - minus [-] degrees Celsius, coupled with biting cold winds, the coldest in the world - the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival was held as scheduled, as early as a few hours before the start of the awards ceremony By the time it was over, both sides of the red carpet were packed with trembling journalists.

However, after arriving at the scene, the reporters were not in a hurry to grab a seat, but got together and communicated in English and German with accents from all over the world, asking around which crews would participate in tonight's awards ceremony, which ones The crew had already boarded the return plane, and they were all worried that there would not be enough celebrities present tonight, and tomorrow's report would not have any selling point.

Not only the Berlin Film Festival, but also the closing ceremonies and award ceremonies of the three major European film festivals. The scale and starlight cannot be compared with the premiere ceremonies. I have already gone back, film producers from all over the world have also returned with a full load, and some crews who already knew that there is no hope of winning the award also left early.

Yes, there are Berlin, Cannes and Venice film festivals, but one operation that will not be made public is that earlier on the day of the closing ceremony, the organizing committee will notify some crews to prepare to participate in the evening awards ceremony, not in advance Leave Berlin.

The crews that can receive the notification are all confirmed by some of the judges and are very likely to win the award. In order to avoid the embarrassing scene where the award is awarded but no one accepts the award.

But it is not absolute, because the list of all winners can only be determined by all the judges through discussion and voting a few hours before the closing ceremony. If the judges have different opinions on any award, and the vote is [-] to [-], it will be a big hit. It also happens from time to time that the shortlist becomes bigger and hotter.

But receiving the notice usually means that the crew will attend the closing ceremony. What the reporters hope most now is that there are star crews and topical characters in these crews, so that no matter whether the final result is hot or cold, they will be attracted. Human reports can be written.

At this time, the focus of the crowd was a male reporter from "The Voice of Deutsche Welle". As a local with extensive channels and contacts, he was answering a call from a friend of the organizing committee. No fewer than dozens of pairs of eyes.

After hanging up the phone, the "Deutsche Welle" reporter carried his device expressionlessly, first took the best position beside the red carpet silently, and then cleared his throat to remind other colleagues: "The "Milk" crew will be at the closing ceremony, Leonard will not be there, but Spielberg and Bradley will be there."

The surrounding area of ​​the still calm red carpet boiled like a frying pan instantly. Journalists from various countries who had been talking peacefully just now began to fight for a good opportunity. Brings a touch of fiery atmosphere.
