È stato reso noto il programma ufficiale della 76esima edizione del Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Berlino che si terrà nella capitale tedesca dal 12 al 22 febbraio 2025. Da anni una delle manifestazioni più importanti al mondo, quest’anno la Berlinale potrà contare su titoli di assoluto rilievo, senza però risparmiarsi dal punto di vista della ricerca cinematografica, dando voce ad autori provenienti da tutto il mondo. Trovano finalmente casa alcuni titoli di cui si parla ormai da tempo e che sembravano essersi persi nel limbo, bucando prima una presentazione a Cannes e poi un’anteprima a Venezia, ma eccoli qui, gli ultimi lavori di Kornél Mundruczó, İlker Çatak e Karim Aïnouz. Al di fuori del concorso ufficiale, spicca la presenza di Gore Verbinski e dell’ormai padrone di casa Hong Sang-soo. A seguire, il programma e tutti i film della Berlinale 2026.

Quando e dove si terrà il 76esimo Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Berlino

Il Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Berlino è da sempre considerata una delle manifestazioni cinematografiche più importanti al mondo, con celebrazioni come quelle di Cannes, Locarno o Venezia che restano sì davanti, ma a cui i tedeschi cercano costantemente di puntare e con una storia decennale alle spalle. Ma quando e dove si terrà la Berlinale 2026? Il festival è in programma dal 12 al 22 febbraio 2026 e si terrà, chiaramente, a Berlino. Nello specifico, nonostante alcune iniziative si tengano in zone diverse della città, il cuore resta Potsdamer Platz.
