There is currently a celebration of the life of Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis in Germany with a documentary film which is having screenings in selected cinemas.

At the 2014 Berlinale, there was an excellent film called ’71 that was set during the Bloody Sunday Massacre in Northern Ireland in 1971.

Two years after his death, David Bowie still excites an ongoing fascination for the music he produced in his career and the sumptuously re-packaged (not to mention expensive) recently released anthology box sets of his back catalogue on vinyl and CD are continuing evidence of the excellent body of work he recorded.

It has been around for 52 editions, and coming here for the first time feels like being central to the glitz and the glamour one would expect from a bestowed A-List film festival.
