Berlinale Panorama Special

Genesis

Genesis provides a dramatic depiction of sin, catharsis and rebirth. With strong biblical roots, the story is told via the journeys of very different individuals from completely separate sections of society whose paths never cross but whose fates become intricately entwined as they twist through the shadow cast by this horrendous crime.

Berlinale Classics

My 20th Century

My 20th Century (1989, Cannes Camera d’Or), Ildikó Enyedi’s (On Body and Soul, Berlinale Golden Bear 2017) debut feature is a complex, poetic fairy tale, and an homage to silent movies. Shot in black-and-white, the film follows the very different live of identical twins in Old Europe at the dawn of the 20th century. 
Using the original camera negative and the magnetic sound track, the film was digitally restored in 4K by the Hungarian National Film Fund Film Archive and Filmlab.

Shooting Star from Hungary: Réka Tenki

"With originality and generosity, Réka balances her performance skills to breathe life into the mystery at the heart of Budapest Noir. Her passionate performance in front of the camera gives her a shimmering coolness that exudes confidence. Effortlessly capturing the moment, she impressed the jury with a subtle liveliness and a stand-out performance."Shooting Star Jury's comment
 
Growing up in a „theater family”, Réka Tenki has been at home on the stage since she was young. Tenki was named one of Variety’s ”10 Europeans to Watch” and was seen in Ildikó Enyedi’s acclaimed On Body and Soul (Berlinale Golden Bear, Academy Award Nominee in Best Foreign Language Film category).
