and there was a minute's silence before the premiere of the 1st film at the betty nada i've also been various reactions from people in the arts world including here one from the pinnace ego leavitt who self has been the subject of right wing extremism in the past he expressed a mixture of grief and rage and wrote at this moment every single one of my thoughts goes out to the victims of the terrorist attack of how now as well as their relatives i feel the deepest sorrow and speechlessness my rage at the perpetrator and those who pave the way for him in parliament spokes and media will come later. just one of many reactions but if we do move all night which is the film festival i'll be talking to our man david levitz who's down at the heart of the festival in a minute but 1st of all it's the 70th edition of the belly now it's under new management so let's take a look. 70 years of the berlin it's

a story with big stars and this year a new chapter a new festival direct to carlow shots graham artistic director and marietta reason big executive director in charge of business. there's the usual eclectic mix of films italian drama hidden away is about the naive movement painter antonio. heriot director abel for a sense acts a body willem dafoe on a voyage of discovery into his own subconscious. and oscar winning italian actor. will be in town for the premiere of a blind action remake of pinocchio. i'm going to do it it's the christian. british actress helen mirren will receive

the honorary golden bear for lifetime achievement but another guest can enjoy her performances in films like the long good friday and the queen. another oscar winner is president of the jury british actor jeremy irons cardamom iran known to the mainstream is provided by the animated disney film on work. which examines the problems of teenage elves. looks like a lot of different and intriguing movies in store this is festival i'm joined from downtown berlin the throbbing heart of the festival by. david let's talk about the new film my salinger year starring sigourney weaver of course 1st of all tell us a bit of by ourselves. well my salinger year is based on

a memoir by the author joanna rakoff her story is that as a young woman hoping to become a poet she moved to new york city that was in the ninety's and she said to work for a literary agency and it turned out that her main job she thought she was going to become a writer but her main job was responding to letters forte the author j.d. salinger who was represented by this literary agency and was read at is played in the film his agent by sigourney weaver ok you set it up very nicely let's see it show clip and girls. yes terry i will let my post now. of course to mary salinger. and above all you never ever call him. jerry doesn't want to hear about how much the catcher and ron and he doesn't want to read your stories don't have to he's good writers make the worst assistant.

get to work. tough cookie day you had a sneak preview i know so what's it like. well it's a little bit like the devil wears prada if instead of a fashion magazine or where the literary world sigourney weaver is back in her role as the mean boss that we know from working girl back in the eighty's margaret quali the daughter of andy and make della playing the young hopeful and actually this is a very sincere movie because she has to respond to the fan mail of j.d. salinger's fans and she's not supposed to but she she ends up wanting to write some very personal responses to a lot of lost souls out there who connect with his book ok now these 75 of us are the ballet not a kohls the set of ration of course but that is also been some controversy.

that's right well cause for celebration the bally nala in the past 70 years has become one of the world's biggest festivals the world's biggest public festival in fact it started off after world war 2 under the american military administration actually started by the 1951 and has become one of the most important festivals in the world now controversy this year the jury is led by british actor jeremy irons and head of the valley and a lot of the comments strange comments he's been making in the past few years have been surfacing about women about gay marriage and he tried to put those to rest this morning at a press conference saying unequivocally that he believes that equal rights for women that gay marriage and the right to abortion are human rights and he said that in what he delivered almost as a shakespearean soliloquy so the belly not off to a very political start as as always and just also another controversy about the

album alfred sorry by a prize he was. the 1st director of the berlin back in the 1950s right and this is been a prize it's been awarded to films that i expand the view of what cinematic arts can do that prize has been suspended because it turns out that i football and this is been really reported in the last few weeks was connected to the nazi propaganda minister go but isn't that a lot of work for him so the belly not a has responded they've gotten rid of this prize and they're looking forward i think to another 70 years. ok ok now with a bit of a different history i know what a film buff you all briefly tell us all that you're going to try and see as muddy fields as possible but give us your take it a favorite coming out. there is a movie in the next few days called the tao and this is a very strange movie it's kind of as soviet truman show the director of this movie

basically locked his cast of 400 people into a studio in ukraine for 3 years while they reenacted historical events of the soviet union and during that time cast members formed relationships they had children all sorts of things happened so i'm really looking forward to seeing how that movie turned out david great to have a great evening and i'm sure well we'll talk again tomorrow at the same time thanks very much. finally today the polish city of krakow was recently bestowed the title of the european capital of gastronomical culture this designation might come as a surprise to some but over the past 3 decades the city has turned from state run restaurants with no idea about service to a culture of award winning cuisine so we visited a restaurant where polish chefs are rediscovering and reimagining the local cuisine

. krakow poland is world famous for its main square and old town but the emergence of one of europe's most dynamic cullen airy scenes in recent years has gone barely noticed outside poland the city hosts several top notch restaurants. perhaps the finest is the hotel copernicus the head chef here is marching for the cave which 5 years ago the renowned french restaurant guy named him as the best chef in southern poland he's one of a new generation of top polish chefs who have turned cracow into a gourmet capital of soldiers in green there's a competition keeps all of us on our toes. and these days we're serving guests who've dined in the best restaurants all around the world who will be going out and when they come to our city they expect the same high standards with some of. those own cuisine is very diverse integrating polish jewish austrian and ukrainian

influences that reflect the city's history silicate it is only recipe for success involves new interpretations of traditional dishes. smartens to people just like it when they rediscover tastes from the past and that's exactly what i try to give them in a modern form so she sought to listen you don't know when the patrons close their eyes they remember how their grandma used to cook and also it helps them go to bob jones. tacos cuisine isn't only about. starred chefs and fine dining it's also these braided rings known as junkie they can be found on almost every corner. the over junkie museum gifts visitors everything they'd want to know about their history and an opportunity to roll out the dough twisted and bake it themselves. it takes a skilled baker only about 5 seconds the hardest part is definitely the braiding. but then you can learn just about anything but respect if you come to one of our

workshops. over a century ago jewish immigrants took the soft bread rings to new york city where in a slightly altered form it began an international career as the bagel bakers have been turning them out for 600 years. now have the e.u. designated status of a food with protected geographical indication. that i'm too we all know that it's to make absolutely certain that nobody steals our junky you can move on to governor i think that's. also typical of our parochial filled polish dumplings cuisine is a hit with the tourists. really good. night falls in the old jewish district. another well known feature of cracow cuisine may be found here street food partiers can pick up

a bite here until late into the night has proven that premium cuisine can even be had at a food truck andrus quickly became the truck of choice for discerning street food fans is even made a listing in the highly respected gumi own restaurant guide it specialty is much. actually a traditional meal time to. give. a customer wrote a review of us history of world class a sunday dinner in a roll. and that's exactly what we serve was a even if it looks different thing gradients are the classic ones ork marinated in caraway the resolution on the. back of the hotel copernicus marching for the cabbage prepares the evening meal he's put together a best of cracow menu an edible work of art right on a marble table top boiled beef deep fried fed a cheese from regional producers and wild berries he's proud of the city's title gastronomically capital of europe an epicurean holiday in cracow hits the spot.
