it's a, it's, as you said, it's about a family of peach farmers in catalonia, based loosely on kathy moans, own own life. our own family is also, we're also has a peach farm in catalan. i'm and this is basically set in their short final summer harvest because although they've been, had been farming the land for several generations of they're going to be victims from the land to make way for urbanized ation for urban expansion in the area. so a lot of very touching social themes, but the film itself on is really sort of a bitter sweet look at sort of m a passing a passing of a lifestyle. i'm in spain, i'm very, very beautiful. dillman. kelsey won't have to say she was here a 5 years ago with her very 1st film of the summer of 1993 and you want 1st best 1st film back then. so it's really amazing to see this young director on 5 years later when the surprise here in berlin, we know that the billing all is always good for a surprise. were to were there yeah, surprises or to surprises or even more this year? there were a couple i am i was quite surprised and delighted to see that melton a

i look out at us where we meet a family in a small town in catalonia, in spain, a family of peach, farmers who have to come to terms with the challenges of a changing world. and she just masser fully depicts the tensions that emerge, especially between the generations of that family and when they try to, to grapple those issues and the different approaches they have. it is truly a beautifully made movie. the colors, the editing, the music. everything is so deliberate and the best part of it is the ensemble which is easily the best i've seen at this. bradley, not because she went out to find people who actually lived in that area that she wanted to, to pick to in the movie the area she herself is from people who have grown up on farms who have worked the field for their entire lives. people who would understand the struggle that she wanted to show in her movie and she has succeeded in doing so . you can totally tell that these people have a deep connection to the struggle that is depicted in the movie that this is not just, you know, a swede acting gig. this director found us somewhere on t

as you said, a peach farmers are living in catalonia, a bit based on the director, carla simone. so own family because she comes from a family of peach farmers in the area. but what she did here with this film is cast, complete a non professionals, non actors, to play this family. and basically the entire film is set over a summer or the last harvest or that their family is going through because they are going to be evicted from their farm to make way for a growing organizations in the area. so very sort of poignant social drama. um, but also perhaps because of its setting perhaps because of siemens, a delicate touch with their characters. and it's also a quite heart warming as well. it was really one of the most powerful and most emotional films. i think that was shown by it at the belly now this year, you know, we're used to the berlin ali, i'm presenting us with surprises when it comes to the winners. were there any big surprises this year? why i was surprised and delighted to see that a metal m a captain, one of the best performance for her 1st dramatic role met. and captain

last month in spain, catalonia's parliament formally pardoned hundreds of women accused of witchcraft we're now into the second week of the winter olympics in beijing. hosting a global sporting event is often seen as an opportunity for countries to project power and influence. and these games are no different. in the context of the ongoing covid pandemic and allegations of human rights abuse, the chinese authorities will be hoping the games can help them regain international goodwill. i think a lot of people look back to 2008, and that is the framework of the book, from one olympics to the next, but it's when the government decided to release a policy to make china the largest sports industry in the world. in china, a fraction of 1% of gp come from the sports economy, so they started from a low base, almost zero, and the aim was from 2025 of the biggest sports economy in the world —— of gdp. with winter sports and the winter olympics, that has really helped to push forward the growth, so there is been some bumps in the road. but winter sports, we are seeing some real growth and i thin

it tells the story of a family of peach farmers in catalonia and how they struggle with the changing of the times and how the generations go about it differently. the ensemble was easily the best i've seen at this festival, and that might be due to her approach. she only cas amateur actors for this film. people who are actually from the region she to pick them who have lived on farms and worked in the fields their entire lives over them. this is much more than justice. we'd gig this is them taking their plight for better working conditions and better pay to an international state. all right, nicole frederick reporting of from a, the berlin olive. thank you so very much and thank you for watching. i will see that the company, our again, next is news asia with the new t e. v is sustainable in next week. maybe you can never idea. we took a look at what a read in 60 minutes on d w b closely in listen carefully. don't know how those things you need to do, go ah, ah, discover the world around you. subscribe to dw documentary on youtube. every day counts for us and for our planet. global id

it's a set in a, a farm, a family own farm in catalonia, and it's sort of a bitter sweet tail. it's about a family basically doing their last summer harvest because their farm is they're about to be evicted from their farm. it's going to be taken over on to make way for urban expansion. so i say very bittersweet story, but it's set in the sort of mid day midsummer, a sunlight of spain i'm and so really i think is visually the most powerful film that i saw this year. and also i think the emotional emotionally moving of this year's belly knowledge and what was the emotional highlight for you? yeah, off the screen when it came to the, the people who hear the stars and the the press conferences. i had to say there was one moment i'm when emma thompson was here and emma thompson was here to show off her film, her new film, a good luck to you, leo grand. and in it, she plays a widower who's sort of repressed and hires a sex worker to give her her 1st ever orgasm. it's so it's a bit of a comedy, but it's also some quite serious things to say about shame, about sexuality and thompson,

her film a caught us which is a story of a peach farming family in catalonia, on has one of the golden bare. it was my absolute favorite film this year, and i never pick the same film as the jury. so i'm absolutely over the moon about this. i also am a seaman a her and she made her debut here in berlin just 5 years ago with her 1st film. the summer of 1993, which one the 1st the very 1st feature award. so for her to come back to us 5 years later, when the top prize here is nothing short of a standing really wow graduations to a one that you'll be hearing a lot more of carla simone. what scott, why did you not think that this was going to win the golden beer? well, just because i liked it i, it tends to be the case at any time. i love a film, the jury hates it and vice versa. so i never bat on the a golden bear because i'm always wrong. but this year i happened to be in sync with a m nitro milan, i guess a, he and i apparently have some sort of connection or he just has very good taste in films as i do in a case. this was my absolute favorite. um and i think it's a really amazing, amazi

it's called al, got it as and it said in a small town in rules spain, in catalonia, and there we meet this to lay a family, a family of peach. farmers who have to come to terms with the challenges of a changing time. and she master fully depicts the tensions that emerge, especially among the different generations in that family and trying to tackle this transformation and, and the crisis. it is a world that really makes you wanna stay. it really sucks you in. and that is in large part because of the great ensemble, it is easily the best cast i have seen at this valley nala. and that is because she chose to go with amateur actors only all the people that appear in the movie are actually from the area that is depicted in the movie. and it's all people who have grown up on farms and work the fields for their entire life. so they're very familiar with the problems that, that are shown in the movie. and a more than just, you know, a swede acting gig. it really seems to be for them away to take the plight of small farmers in rural areas, not only again but around the world to the big stage

last month in spain, catalonia's parliament formally pardoned hundreds of women accused of witchcraftn at one point or another but i doubt you ever imagined a windfall as big as this. a cheque for more than two trillion pounds — the equivalent of almost three trillion dollars. well, that's exactly what dozens of people in the north of england received in the post. too good to be true? megan paterson explains. 2,324,252,008,001. gareth hughes was expecting compensation for four days without power. but not that much. hundreds of thousands of people in northern england lost connection during storm arwen — many still wait for compensation. a technical errorfrom northern powergrid has given some customers brief thoughts of a luxury lifestyle. we were just on our way out when i picked the post up, so i opened it, laughed, showed my wife, she laughed at it as well. it's such a big value, to be honest. it's something that i can't even really imagine. it would be nice to be able to invest in some of my interests. i'm a featherstone rovers fan, i'm sure they'd appreciate a few pounds towards bu
