cinema got its start 125 years ago but there aren't many celebrations at the moment and kobe has plunged to the industry into a crisis film festivals are being postponed or even canceled around the world movie houses are closed is this the end of an era or are they glimmers of renewal and hope. some cinemas don't look like they'll ever real then. islands an emptiness where there used to be these in crowds. it's downright ghostly. notice this elderly and.

alfred holy cow this doesn't believe the curtains will stay down. he 1st went to the cinema when he was 4 years old. he saw the german western treasure of silver lake and was hooked. you have and when i was young between the ages of 16 and 20 if i liked a film i would go and see it several times the 1st week it was released i saw barry lyndon 4 days in a row when in this thread barry ruined labs and sent me to the trouble to properly use the shit out of fear you have a date it's just you in the film and you go somewhere special you don't want any distractions not even your girlfriend you just want to concentrate us and you can only do that in the cinema comes where you watch a film makes a difference. but what if cinemas are thinking into the past turning to

desolate ruins. the venue itself has to be part of what draws you there i think the time when people would be thrilled to go out again is just around the corner it would be proper for books. in the philippines people are allowed to go out again. in manila there's the float in the cinema a trip to venice without the long haul flights social distancing is ensured going to much a gondola. in riyadh drive ins are flourishing and now that women are allowed to drive in saudi arabia they're also becoming avid movie goers. there are lone minds to get into the only on in aylesbury england to the not to see a film the cinema is being used in. the vaccination center which under the

he's not to blame it's the pandemic but the late releases resonate with a wider story about the frailty of the cinema industry as screaming surges still holy house is convinced movie palaces will live to see another day. try to use every street thousands of years old and still going strong so there's no need to worry. in looks like china may have the coronavirus under control people are going to the movies again and they have plenty of multiplex cinemas to choose from there are more than 75000 screens across the country what's small the biggest blockbuster last year was made in china the $800.00 grossed almost $500000000.00 more than any film made in hollywood.

# in germany it's a different story in the 19 fifties and sixties stylish movie palaces sprang up in the night at the movies was a popular last time but over the last 6 decades ticket sales have plummeted from 800000000 to 100000000 a year how many cinemas will survive the lockdown will people come flocking again. even this is both in film festival is going virtual thousands of stars and fans together in the flesh is out of the question. central berlin the malina dietrich square in february 2021. insight if it weren't for the ground demick. taking place right now. a very different story from last year and the years before the film buffs movie critics. and hollywood stars the likes of george clooney and meryl streep flocked

here to see and see. the battling ali organizers had to be creative. the only part i took time to meet the unpredictability of the pandemic is making it very hard to come up with any durable plans for the berlin ali and you develop ideas in concepts that you talk to cinema you talk to funders sponsors partners or the palm and 5 days later it's all obsolete again obsolete. and with there even any new films to screen under the current conditions normally in the belly not only organizers travel far and wide meeting with famous directors and rising new talents to select the upcoming program. meet new the pandemic demands we couldn't do that. but many other festivals were cancelled which meant that many

filmmakers sought us out to offer us their films. they're desperate for a platform to present their films. as we all seem to. want my marriage it also goes to show how important it is to filmmakers to have an audience . to see people responding to their work it's almost mythical. that won't happen until june when the general public will get a chance to see the films and the awards for. this year's rally knowledge is a hybrid the european film market will take place in march as a cure for the venture even though personal contact is often the kicker to success . it's clear that a digital film market is only a partial replacement. we can't travel during the pandemic but how did you take digital film market gives people the chance to take parts and. all over from

australia to brazil to iceland. to mark the chinaman country they can watch the films online and also get an opportunity to see what film companies have been accredited. alok who haven't i met yet. to be who i want to contact talk to must speak so there are opportunities there. it's a creative solution so will this year's hybrid model be the wave of the future. just ambitions of lead is a bit early to answer that. my sense is that our current predicament will end up changing how we do things the future yes i think it's certainly given us for thought start. when i'm in the future people might want to travel less especially internationally. you know that happens the major festivals will need to adapt. i'm sure.

the belly not able to take place this year even if it's a pared down and virtual event but there's no getting away from the big questions what role will the film festivals play. in the future. of this process we have to have we locked down grim new reality a merger of the 20 in horror film songbird the world's worst fears are realized coded has mutated into something even more deadly lockdown has become a dictatorship. one of your. writers threw over 100 shot most angelus during actual lockdown last year songbird is one of the 1st cinematic attempts to address the real horror of the pandemic. sadly the movie. produced by transformers director michael bay is superficial

schlock. they say and. some. new far. more in-depth examination of covert comes from the documentary in the same breath which premiered at the sundance film festival director not the way shows how the chinese government initially tried to downplay the crisis a pattern she saw repeated in her adopted country america you see you see how. the distance of nations up for. the cover from the highest government has. basically in a boat the outbreak to be a severe and out of control as we are experiencing that today. good evening everyone so we answered in direct you to want to say that we stand for

the community and we love the energy that we're getting right now i love this movie an. american grassroots democracy and student politics is the focus of homeroom another sundance stop it began shooting before coded but finished during the pandemic and was clearly shaped by the crisis we have the power. thank you steven director my conversation with filmmakers who have done where it during the storm and that made found during this next i have noticed is that we will all treat them by necessity almost like making the film is the only. creative a channel that we can express we can articulate the strong emotions that we have the iran every day as other people whether it's you know whether this is sadness childlessness or anger or. a sense of loss or longing for a connection. you are by far the most excruciating

difficult stubbly of not just women i've ever met in my entire life in malcolm and marie the struggle to find connection is framed as one long romantic fight between the stars and diane and john david washington. what is the netflix drama was shot on a single location entirely under pandemic restrictions. this movie was sort of born out of the idea can we tell a story given the restrictions of coded can we make a movie that doesn't compromise in terms of emotional scope cinematics broke. and that was sort of that it was sort of an exercise in that regard. no malcolm i feel like once you know someone is there for you once you know they love you you never actually think of them again that's not true

so until you got to lose someone that you finally paid. 'd the ultimate exercise in socially distance in a month was held at sweden's court a big film festival one woman spent 7 days alone on an island watching movies in a video blog she recorded the emotions evoked by the cinema she saw. when we're. being afraid of. other i feel that. during the thing we started to fear to be close we started to fear is to. to fear each other and the grocery market when you hear someone coughing or sneezing you sort of. look at them. with fear or with anger and i wonder where that behavior stop that's not the place.

to do it there are no real answers in any of the films made during or inspired by the pandemic. but as shown best in life in a day 2025 mcdonald's crowd sourced you tube documentary in times of crisis cinema can reveal our common humanity why can't we see. why the. this. to. the layman sandal is 12 lives in berlin and is going places like hollywood for example. i think coming german

actress has already got off to an impressive start. in how many internet stock only post and world's best folks with powerful personality and strong women are feminists i'm choosy i want to show what i can do much more calm. singles 1st hollywood film is making its debut on netflix in news of the world she plays an orphan raised by the native american kiowa people captain kidd finds her in the wilderness in this western single place alongside 2 time oscar winning actor tom hanks though his name didn't mean much to her at 1st but when i realized what a household name he is i was really faded i've often had just came in and i wasn't prepared for it he said was oh hello i'm tom hanks and it was pretty overwhelmed there at that moment i didn't know what to say but we wound up laughing a lot. i want to see your movie you were baking one together right.

after such a great time i would see what you've done before we met i cannot stress enough. the incredible power of young on those scenes with that with the 2 of us that those those those crackled they would if they were ridiculous fun in order in order to shoot and certainly are making a film in english with tom hanks could have been daunting but she took it in stride . can't. help to. make no mistake that the pair made it singles career took over the role of danny in system crasher but she was just 9 at the time she brought in almost unbearable intensity and physicality to the role of the traumatized girl who literally breaks all the rules. her boundless energy runs riot and she races from one scene to the next.

it was her big break and won her the german film award but didn't get into the lower for best actress goes to indicate on her anything though in system a crush. sure will revert to an international career that has a shop will greet her director paul greengrass on me at the 21000 berlin film festival and said to assist and look at what she can do with her eyes shut i gave it my all 100 i told my saucy this is your chance my show if you really want to be an actress and things to take off you have to take advantage of it. and she's doing just that in news of the world playing next to tom hanks. gerda's don't. good girl go. to director paul greengrass was impressed by her charisma and talent you could see she bloomed. and great to do it's like

a calling it's just slow the choices just. she's got the real deal but. i do not have a clue as to the clear shot. so what's next for a single maybe a golden globe for best supporting actress on feb 28th place. win or lose lose of the world isn't likely to be her last hollywood movie she's still in touch with tom hanks to. know what he's a very nice acting partner who always has good advice and like be punctual know your lines and be kind to everyone and he reflects that and south of us speak out i'm from say out. saying go live learning from the past the young german actress looks to have a bright future ahead of her. the

current pandemic is not the 1st to hit the film industry if people had not only one mosques but also practiced social distancing the spanish flu which ravaged the world from 1918 to 1920 might not have killed 50000000. even during the 1st and 2nd world wars people still went to the cinema. then came new technologies that posed a challenge to movie theaters and the film industry. video recorders could be used to make copies of films shown on television and to watch films at home on v.h.s. cassette from video rental shops. after v.h.s. came d.v.d.'s and blu ray discs but none of these have so far killed off the real movie theaters played. in.
