that's right the president of this year's jury is british actor jeremy irons and he's quite a big name but also a little bit of an odd choice given to. quite a political festival and everything's about identity politics these days and here you've got this older white guy having the jury and i think that's a really important point to make especially considering the fact that as jeremy irons was announced this jury of course a famous famous film a shakespearean actor for example as well as from god cinema there was a lot of criticism about some comments he made in previous years whether it be ruth regards to women say they are now ridge abortion as well and he came out and he really sought to dispel that straight away in the press conference saying that he wholeheartedly support all of these issues particularly in the me 2 era and progress being made in these issues he wanted to set the record right he called them he called he called gay marriage for instance a human right and said that he really wanted to put all of this speculation about his opinions and political leanings to rest so t

now that jeremy irons is presiding over the jury this year great actor a little bit of a strange choice though maybe for a very political festival especially in times of mean to having an older white guy or i mean quite a personal point as well bearing in mind that as soon as his name was announced his presiding over this huge irritated there was quite a lot of criticism in the press about comments he made in the past we 3 got his attitude to women same sex marriage abortion in fact he did refer to that at the press conference this morning when david and i were take a listen to what he had to say. i support wholeheartedly the global movement to address the inequality of women's rights and to protect them from abusive damaging and disrespectful heris munt i applaud the legislation of same sex marriage wherever it has been attained and suddenly i support ho heartedly the rights of women to have an abortion should they so decide all right setting the record straight guys is the bell and i was 78 years how is it looking at this ripe old age. well the valley nona is definitely maintaining it

world premieres and stars like sigourney weaver and helen mirren gracing the red carpet in berlin jeremy irons as well president of the jury of this year's but then international film festival the jury will soon be making their final deliberations over which film is going to get the prized golden bat. hello it's the bell in our all the way on arts and culture it's a damn before we get into discussions about the best movies this year a look at one screening out of competition a world premiere and on the last span was hitler's favorite talk it's at some part of his in a circle of the wall he tried to distance himself from his nazi past in his memoirs which nearly became a hollywood movie but it never happened this documentary explains why. he was one of hitler's closest accomplices architect. appointed minister of armaments in 1902 his job was to help nazi germany win world war 2 as we all know that didn't happen but the story belgian israeli director vanessa lapa tells in her new film is one that most people don't know. while in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity shapiro wrote hi

full on attack on the iranian regime which is almost impossible to even imagine doing i think jeremy irons the president of the competition jury made a very brave choice a very strong political and a very strong political message with this film plus it was actually my favorite film of the festival so he made the correct critical choice in my opinion an amazing an amazing night an amazing night figuring instead of just to add a little bit more to the poignancy of it the director himself is not able to collect that name because he is still in iran and he has not been allowed to leave the country since 2017. popular choice from the sound of it what about the soviets . yes silver banners we had a phenomenal director another korean after the korean. hole one at the oscars with parasite his contemporaries signing soon one best director here with the woman who ran a very different movie the parasite minimalist a tale of a woman who might just be on the edge of a nervous breakdown phenomenal a story told with the with the eye of a true master another great choice from the jury in my can still the
