But so that you don&#8217;t have to talk about the tight housing market, snow, carnival, curling, or terriers instead\u2014although the last two topics are really fine\u2014I&#8217;m publishing a few facts and figures today that will help you shine wherever you go:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">2026 will be the second Berlinale under the direction of <span style=\"color: #01adef;\"><strong>Tricia Tuttle<\/strong><\/span>.

In another six films, the director was also involved in writing the screenplay. That leaves six films with no overlap between directing and screenwriting. These include WOLFRAM (which I will mention again later), where director <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Warwick Thornton<\/span> was also responsible for the cinematography.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">#2of6<\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\"><strong>As the 6-Departments-Check suggests, a good 60% of films meet criterion #2of6,<\/strong> meaning that women were involved in at least two of the six departments examined, which are directing, scirpts, cinematography, sound, editing and music. Ideally, every production should reach this small threshold, but there is still some way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">Looking back at the 2023 Berlinale, only <strong><span style=\"color: #01adef;\">36.8%<\/span><\/strong> of the 19 films in competition achieved #2of6. The number of zero films (no women in the six film professions) has also declined, from<span style=\"color: #ed008c;\"> 7<\/span> out of 19 films in 2023 to <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">4<\/span> out of 22 in this year&#8217;s competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">It would be interesting to consider the possible reasons for this. #2of6 is probably not something that was on <strong>Tricia Tuttle&#8217;<\/strong>s list when she invited entries for the competition. But there seems to be something that is important to her \u2013 content? Form? Visual language? \u2013 and this may also be linked to the composition of the six core departments. Or there may be a completely different reason. What do you think?

Naru, the only camerawoman at Kabul\u2019s main TV station, is struggling to retain custody of her three-year-old son. After leaving her serially cheating husband, she has become convinced that no good men exist in her country. Naru is therefore caught off guard when Qodrat, Kabul TV\u2019s most important journalist, offers her a career opportunity. As the two criss-cross the city reporting on its last days of freedom, sparks fly between them and Naru starts to doubt her conviction. Could there be a good man out there after all?<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">And I should also mention that <span style=\"color: #01adef;\"><strong>Shahrbanoo Sadat<\/strong><\/span> played the lead role (<strong>Naru<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">There is also a huge difference between the German film funding received by NO GOOD MEN (\u20ac1.48 million) and DAS LICHT (\u20ac5.84 million). Why is that? Yes, film funding is also a good starting point for discussions about the film industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">Participating production countries<\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">As you know, the Berlinale is actually called the International Film Festival, so I can also offer you a few facts about the participating production countries:<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\"><strong>Singapore<\/strong> is represented in the Berlinale competition for the first time with a film: WO MEN BU SHI MO SHENG REN \/ WE ARE ALL STRANGERS, written and directed by <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Anthony Chen<\/span>. Four African countries are co-producers on three films \u2013 <strong>Guinea-Bissau<\/strong>, <strong>Senegal<\/strong>, Chad and <strong>Tunisia<\/strong>, after none were in competition in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\"><strong>A brief digression<\/strong>: I would like to take this opportunity to mention the <a href=\"https:\/\/awieatlas.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A wie Atlas<\/a> (<strong>A as in Atlas<\/strong>) project, \u2018the largest German-language website on the subject of geography. A wie Atlas is about regional studies, special places and lots of helpful tips on maps, landscapes and books. Have fun discovering the world!\u2019<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">I ended up there because I didn&#8217;t know Guinea-Bissau and wasn&#8217;t entirely sure where the other three countries on their continent were located. It&#8217;s a very informative site, and not just about <a href=\"https:\/\/awieatlas.de\/afrika-laender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">African countries<\/a>! Some things are still missing, such as an overview of Asian countries, but there is already a lot of information, and I found it more enjoyable to browse this site than Wikipedia. The creator is <strong>Simon Rucker<\/strong>, and he wrote to me that he runs <strong>A wie Atlas<\/strong> on his own, motivated by his interest in geography and discovering beautiful landscapes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">Back to the Berlinale and the countries represented in the competition. This time there are <strong>no South American films<\/strong> or co-productions, but instead WOLFRAM, a film by <strong>Australian<\/strong> filmmaker <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Warwick Thornton<\/span>, who is of Aboriginal descent. You can see how this compares to last year in this table:<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16231\" src=\"https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SchspIN_Berlinale2526_Prod-laender_en.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"438\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SchspIN_Berlinale2526_Prod-laender_en.png 438w, https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SchspIN_Berlinale2526_Prod-laender_en-300x142.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">This time there were no films from China (last year there were two), and what I don&#8217;t understand most of all is that once again there were no Indian productions! If I understood correctly, 1,500 films were produced in <strong>India<\/strong> last year. But were none of them were \u2018good enough\u2019 for the Berlinale competition? Hard to believe. Another good question to start a debate with!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">I have already mentioned co-productions. Of the 22 films in competition, seven were financed in only one country (in 2025, there were nine), including the above-mentioned film from Singapore and the German entry ETWAS GANZ BESONDERS \/ HOME STORIES by <strong>Eva Trobisch<\/strong> (German film funding: \u20ac2.3 million). Are these low-budget films that are only produced in one country? Or are films with five or more co-producing countries more likely to be low-budget, and do they have to piece the money together? I&#8217;m not actually very familiar with film funding, especially at the international level, but it&#8217;s interesting that international co-productions seem to be on the rise everywhere. (And once again, you have an icebreaker topic for the Nordmedia reception or if you meet someone from the FFA German Film Funders at a buffet).<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">And the \u201cmost international\u201d co-production, KURTULU\u015f, involved six countries: <strong>Turkey<\/strong>, <strong>France<\/strong>, the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong>, <strong>Greece<\/strong>, <strong>Sweden<\/strong>, and <strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong> (seven countries in 2025). <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">Just to add: the countries involved in most films were <strong>France<\/strong> (7) and <strong>Germany<\/strong> (5) &#8211; last year it were the same two countries, with 5 and 4 films each. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">A Word about Data<\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">I&#8217;ll keep this brief, although I could say a lot more on this subject. How did I go about this competitive analysis? Most of the information on the cast and crew of the six films came from the official Berlinale website. In a few cases, I had to fill in the gaps using other sites (primarily IMDB, but also crew united for German productions, where I also researched and added up the funding amounts mentioned). Once I had the names, I then researched the filmmakers, specifically why they were men or women (or whether they might call themselves something else). I searched across the board, looking at interviews, other databases, photos from other film premieres, and so on. And that&#8217;s where I sometimes ended up with small errors or inconsistencies. For example, the sound designer for QUEEN AT SEA is <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Kent Sparling<\/span>. However, he was initially listed as Kent Starling on the Berlinale website, which meant that I couldn&#8217;t find any further information about him. But after some cross-referencing, it became clear that his name is indeed Kent Sparling, and this has now been changed on the Berlinale website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">And then there is also the phenomenon of different information given for a position depending on the source. An example: NO GOOD MEN, where crew united (and Wikipedia, but that is not a reputable source) only mention <strong><span style=\"color: #01adef;\">Therese Aune<\/span><\/strong> for the music, while the Berlinale website states<strong> Harpreet Bansal, Therese Aune<\/strong> and <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Kristian<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Eidnes<\/span>. And those three names ended up in my analysis table. Incidentally, many sources name <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Anwar Hashimi<\/span> as co-screenwriter for NO GOOD MEN. But not so on the Berlinale website, so he&#8217;s not in my table either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">I actually wanted to analyse the leading roles as well, but I didn&#8217;t manage to do that in the end. But there were problems there too! Let&#8217;s take QUEEN AT SEA again. These are the leading roles mentioned on the Berlinale website, with <strong><span style=\"color: #01adef;\">Juliette Binoche<\/span><\/strong> topping the list (here&#8217;s a screenshot):<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16210\" src=\"https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/queenatsea_berlinale.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"258\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But if you consult IMDB, someone completely different is listed as the lead role &#8211; <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Noah Hunt Basden<\/span>, and the four listed on Berlinale.de, including the actual lead actress <span style=\"color: #01adef;\">Juliette Binoche<\/span> and <span style=\"color: #ed008c;\">Tom Courtenay<\/span>, don&#8217;t even get a character name. And the cast list is longer, of course. Here&#8217;s an excerpt:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16211\" src=\"https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/queenatsea_imdb.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"341\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/queenatsea_imdb.png 519w, https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/queenatsea_imdb-273x300.png 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I am also familiar with this issue of role ranking from crew united, another database where actors can register themselves and mark their roles as leading or supporting roles.<br \/>\nBasically, it&#8217;s not that important, and film statistics don&#8217;t really have any scientific basis.
