Berlin reflects a changing industry
This week at the Berlin Film Festival, radical changes unfolded in the United States, glaring at every debate on the global stage, where many films were shown and viewed through a new political lens. The latest film from highly acclaimed Korean director Bong Jun Ho has caused a different shade in light of current events, with space-loving billionaires at the heart of the satire giving a mix of Trump and Elon Musk. I was showing it. It worked on the dream, a film by Mexican director Michelle Franco starring Jessica Chastain, and the story of an immigrant and an undocumented Mexican ballet dancer who travels to the United States with his wealthy lover. The story is “Incredibly political, (partially) what’s going on now… not just in the US, but around the world”Chastain told reporters. The question for filmmakers, studios and actors is whether they openly push back towards Trump’s “America’s first” Nationalism, either through their on-screen work or official statements.
“I have no problem naming Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the Republican Party as a whole and blaming what’s going on right now.” Todd Haynes, an independent American director who chairs the ju judge in Berlin, told AFP.
“It’s a scary moment when we’re here. This will return to a system that requires all the energy and will resist and return.” The 64-year-old has been added. “Escape from reality” Others were even more embarrassing. When asked about the rise of far-right parties, superstar Timothy Chalamett was completely unknown in Berlin for the German premiere of his Bob Dylan biographies, and did not name him Trump, I’ve warned “Savior” or “Like a cult” figure. Moderator intervenes and moves the questions to the film, then moves away from it. “Personal politics”. British actor Robert Pattinson avoided questions about Trump, but Bonn denied that he was inspired by New York’s big name because of his billionaire politician personality, and he was a dictator of past dictators. He said he was thinking about it. Asked if the director should take on more political themes, Oscar-nominated American director Richard Linklater said that. “Films in particular are always escapism.”. His latest Blue Moon is set in 1943 and includes on-screen discussions about how viewers can distract themselves from the horrors of World War II. UK A-Lister Benedict Cumberbatch said the film reflects “Collective concerns” During a particular moment in history, the storyteller had to be wary of making clumsy statements.
“As an artist, if you go out and try to convert or be taught, I think you’re dead underwater,” He told reporters. It remains to be seen how much Trump is being seen to pressure Hollywood Studios to apply in line with his agenda for immigration, trans rights, or gender diversity programs. Earlier this month, he replaced the board of directors of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a cultural institution in Washington, and posted online that he was arriving. “The Golden Age of American Art and Culture”. One of his goals was to make sure there was no more. “Anti-American Propaganda”. Last week, Hollywood Studio Major Disney – Trump “woke up” In the past – followed the leads of other US major companies by removing diversity goals “Performance Factor”. Oscar was nominated for apprentice, an intermittent portrayal of Trump in his childhood as a real estate developer, struggling to find distribution of American films last year, and there is no US streaming deal yet. Other issues in Hollywood include whether or not to continue filming overseas at a time when Trump is putting pressure on American businesses to lay the foundation for their home activities (many films have been filmed for cost reasons).

“Not necessarily like Hollywood, we are already succumbing to something shocking, in many other places dealing with large corporate power.” Haynes told AFP.
“When people say, “Oh, they’re just playing a long game,” that’s when you realize you’re contaminated by the culture you’re in and lose your ability to stand up.” He continued. AFP
