Berlinale Spotlight – Programme at the Morelia International Film
Festival in Mexico
On the occasion of the “Year of Germany in Mexico 2016/2017”, the 14th
Morelia International Film Festival (October 21-30, 2016), with the
support of the Goethe-Institut, is dedicating an entire programme to the
Berlin International Film Festival (see Press Release from June 27, 2016).
The jointly curated selection of films has been completed. The Berlinale
Spotlight will be presenting a wide-ranging programme of feature-length
fiction films, documentaries and short films. Not only the Competition,
but also other Berlinale sections – the Panorama, Forum, Generation,
Perspektive Deutsches Kino, Berlinale Shorts and Retrospective - will be
showing films from the programme of the Berlin International Film
Festival 2016. Among the highlights are a number of prize-winning films,
including the winner of the Golden Bear 2016, Fuocoammare (Fire at Sea)
by Gianfranco Rosi.
“The Goethe-Institut is delighted to support the Berlinale Spotlight
within the scope of the ‘Year of Germany in Mexico’. This is an important
component in the extensive film programme of this initiative as well as a
symbol of our worldwide collaboration with the Berlinale”, says Johannes
Ebert, Secretary General of the Goethe-Institut.

The Berlinale Spotlight will also be dedicating a retrospective to
director, screenwriter, actor and producer Reinhold Schünzel. The
German filmmaker made several masterful German film comedies,
including Viktor und Viktoria (Victor and Victoria, 1933), before
emigrating to the USA in 1937.
Director and actor Sebastian Schipper has been invited as Special Guest
of the Morelia International Film Festival and will present three films in
the Berlinale Spotlight. One of them, Victoria (2015), was the winner of
the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the Berlinale
2015; it also won Best Feature-length Fiction Film, Best Director, Best
Actor, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Best Music at the German
Film Awards in the same year.
“We gratefully thank the Morelia Film Festival and especially its director,
Daniela Michel, for the invitation. Our thanks also go to the GoetheInstitut for supporting the Berlinale Spotlight. The Federal Foreign
Office's ‘Year of Germany in Mexico’ is a great occasion to intensify the
cultural exchange”, says Berlinale Director Dieter Kosslick.
Berlinale Director Dieter Kosslick and other festival representatives will
present the Berlinale Spotlight.
