While the complete Generation programme won’t be announced until mid-January, twelve titles including two from Australia are teased out pre-Christmas. Although no NZ films are announced today, they’re almost regulars in the section.
In recent years, features BOY, Shopping, Two Little Boys, The Weight of Elephants and doco This Way of Life have all competed at Berlin, with three winning awards. This year eight NZ titles played in the festival’s indigenous cinema selection Native. A sprightly selection of NZ shorts has also played the Berlinale, most recently Lauren Jackson’s I’m Going to Mum’s.
