The 74th edition of the Berlin Film Festival traditionally concluded on Saturday evening with the presentation of the Golden Bear and the Silver Bears. The international jury, chaired by Lupita Nyong, awarded Mati Diop's latest film 'Dahomey' with the Golden Bear. Bruno Dumont's film 'L'Empire' took home the Silver Beer Jury Prize. Both titles will be released by Cinéart in the Benelux this year.
'The Zone of Interest' wins 3 BAFTAs
The BAFTAs (British Academy Film Awards) were presented in London last night. Jonathan Glazer's 'The Zone of Interest' earned 3 of its nominations, competing against films such as 'Oppenheimer', 'Poor Things' and 'Anatomy of a Fall'.

Four Cinéart films nominated for the Oscars
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced its nominations for the Oscars.
'Holly' by Fien Troch in Official Competition of the Venice Film Festival
Belgian filmmaker Fien Troch is back at the Lido with her fifth feature ‘HOLLY’, produced by Prime Time and Mirage in coproduction with Dardenne brothers' Les Film du Fleuve, Tarantula, Topkapi, tabski film and Agat Films. This captivating exploration of the notion of faith tells the moving story of a girl whose cathartic energy seems to bring peace to the people she encounters. Her previous film ‘Home’ (2016) bowed at Venice’s Orizzonti competition, where she won the award for best direction.

Recent reviews
NL / De Duitse film DAS LEHRERZIMMER is een meeslepend schoolklasdrama, waarin regisseur İlker Çatak een morele strijd toont over grenzen en rechtvaardigheid die thrillerachtige proporties aanneemt. Actrice Leonie Benesch zet een indrukwekkende prestatie neer als Carla Novak.
FR / En suivant l’inexorable chute d’une enseignante intègre qui voit sa vie et son métier lui échapper, İlker Çatak signe un thriller tendu et rythmé, et décroche une nomination à l’Oscar du Meilleur Film Étranger.
FR / Entre Ma Loute et La Vie de Jésus, entre le ciel et la terre, Bruno Dumont nous offre sa vision caustique, cruelle et déjantée de La Guerre des étoiles.
NL / Wat als de volgende ruimteoorlog zich zou afspelen in een landelijk kustdorpje in het noorden van Frankrijk? L’EMPIRE is de nieuwe absurdistische film van Frans regisseur Bruno Dumont. Ergens tussen zijn vorige films 'Ma Loute' en 'La Vie de Jésus' en ergens tussen hemel en aarde, geeft hij ons zijn vreemde, bizarre en soms wat wrede versie van Star Wars.
NL / HOLY ROSITA is het langspeeldebuut van Belgisch regisseur Wannes Destoop (ALBATROS). Met zijn film geeft hij een stem aan iemand die in de maatschappij minder snel aan het woord komt.
FR / Rosita est une jeune femme enjouée, appréciée de tous, qui souhaite ardemment avoir un enfant. Mais son entourage trouve cela irresponsable car Rosita peut à peine s’occuper d’elle-même. Quand Rosita tombe quand même enceinte, elle décide de garder sa grossesse secrète.
NL / THE ZONE OF INTEREST is een indrukwekkend en uitzonderlijk oorlogsdrama zoals we dat niet eerder zagen. Regisseur Jonathan Glazer (UNDER THE SKIN) toont de banaliteit van het kwaad. ‘Een genadeloos meesterwerk’
FR / Jonathan Glazer ('Birth', 'Under the Skin') a reçu le Grand Prix du Festival de Cannes 2023 pour cette coproduction Europe/Etats-Unis qui nous montre de manière singulière la banalité du mal à l'oeuvre pendant l'Holocauste

Patricio Guzmán's My Imaginary Country is something surprising. It finds Guzmán in a joyful mood. After a lifetime making films about dictatorship and evil, he's made something optimistic here. I don't know if I share his optimism, and I don't have the knowledge of Chilean politics to really form a credible opinion, but I support left wing leadership in Latin America and any fight for justice and equality. My Imaginary Country is a personal film, a document of contemporary events…
decision to grieve 😔
Watched this after a really long day in a cozy, dark theatre. Of course, I dozed off (because not even Lynch can battle my talent for falling asleep anytime and anywhere). When I woke up again, Betty was Diane and Rita was Camilla. Not sure if I was still Mahdieh…
“Tori and Lokita” is the angriest movie the Dardenne brothers have ever made, a distinction that shouldn’t be taken lightly in the context of filmmakers who’ve spent the last three decades carving diamond-sharp moral dramas from the plights of Belgium’s most dispossessed people.
Like most of the duo’s work, “Tori and Lokita” leverages the irreducible nature of human dignity against the ever-worsening apathy of human civilization. Like much of their work — including the Palme d’Or winner “Rosetta” and the…
