for victims of harassment abuse there was a suggestion that it also happened at the bella nala and as i say this there was a movement to try and get them actually change the color of the carpet to black berlin festival said they support the idea of the thoughts behind it but thought it would be too much of a symbolic course or a superficial gesture to do that as opposed to trying to make real changes and if you look at not just the films running the building all but also what's happening around the city during the festival there is a lot of effort to address the issues of harassment and abuse i mean tomorrow i'm on a panel where i'll be talking about diversity and gender balance in the film industry and what people can do what they are doing worldwide really practical steps to take . and there's a lot of the those type of discussions happening in the round of the ballot and that's all things that's maybe a better or more significant thing to do than to just wear black or or make a symbolic gesture so the push is there to raise awareness. about it and the german culture minister last n

berlin's annual film festival the belly nala begins tonight in film makers and stars from around the world are descending on the german capital now this is the first international film festival to take place since the flood of allegations of rape and sexual misconduct against phil mogul harvey weinstein and other big hollywood names as the w.'s on your cock reports the me too movement against sexual violence has also been raging berlin's red carpet. where the red carpet will be it still looks like a building site. construction crews here are racing against time with just a few hours left until everything has to be ready for action. during the burl in film festival the red carpet right behind me is the most glamorous place in the german capital it's where actresses from all over the world pose for the proper i'd see in high heels and low cut dresses at least they normally do this year though things could be a little different the debate about sexual misconduct in the film industry has reached the belly now and some women want an example set right here on the red carpet. no high heels

without the support of film enthusiastic many low budget films would never make it to the ballet nala and that would be a terrible shame and often they're the most interesting entries. with hundreds of films at the festival you have to wonder who watches and chooses them all one of those people is under stroke who's been on the team of curators for the pan obama side of the valley knowledge for many years how many films did you and your team watch and how many want up in the festival programme yes penthouse in the film i get thousands of movies i don't know how many i watched and also our selection committee watches hundreds yes we three curators also watched hundreds we ended up with forty seven movies in total that that number wasn't fixed beforehand because active on it's just in time so if we went out into the world to latin america and asia traveled throughout europe africa and india. everywhere we asked what is occupying movie makers and their protagonists these days. give up or talk and that's how we found our topics and the powerful movies we wanted to showcase in our potter r
