“Men are in the gloom!”
Director Reis Çelik talks about his film, Night of Silence
in the National Competition. In the film on child-brides, Reis Çelik is
in obstinacy just like he was in İnat Hikayeleri. He puts such a strong

Berlin Film Festival, and its journey in T...

3 Asian Female Directors
3 Stories of Love in
3 Asian Cities
Synopsis
Helmed by three female directors, this omnibus features three films set in China, Thailand and Singapore respectively. Each story occurs at a specific mealtime, and seeks to interpret the frailties and complexities of love through different Asian perspectives.
All three stories are tethered with the question, “Will you marry me?”
Mirroring the repasts themselves, Breakfast and Dinner are heavier in tone, while Lunch is light with a sprinkle of humor.
