10:10 am

10:12 am
the festival director said that they wanted to promote simple lesson projects b.c.m. they seem to stay faithful to there were maybe fewer stars we did still have johnny helen mirren how about them and someone high up on the red carpet but the focus this year was less on hollywood glitz than on phenomenal global cinema. as the awards wrapped up the winners admired their bearers before heading off to celebrate . i'm joined in the studio now by s if he was another one of our reporters covering the berlin airlift from the red carpet hello to you i mean so tell me just how much of a surprise was it that the golden bear winner this year was the iranian film there is no evil did you expect the film to win yeah that was my tip for golden bear i said that on friday night i should put some money down a little one something no really i don't think anybody was surprised who saw the film there was loud applause after the film's 1st screening is just so well told.
10:13 am
just classical storytelling if there's any drawbacks it might be that it's not very experimental i don't think it pushed the boundaries of filmmaking but i do think that the director himself was very courageous and push boundaries and making his film because as we saw he's banned from filmmaking in iran and he did it anyway by using other people to go on said and give his directions to the actors by splitting the film up into 4 shorter parts so that it didn't look like one big film was coming out of this project so i think the jury awarded him not only for a great film but also his courage in making that film now i mean this is the 2nd year that you were out on the red carpet at the berlin ali what stood out for you this year maybe even compared to a year ago i think the quality of films was just really great i did and i saw very few films i should say that i wouldn't see again and that i wouldn't recommend to friends the red carpet itself was a bit little bit lackluster this year not very many big stars of course there is
