The summer special offered by the festival,
also known as the Berlinale, will take place from June 9 to 20
at 16 venues including a specially created open-air cinema at
Museum Island in the heart of the city, organisers said on
Monday.
"Audiences will be getting a very special, collective festival
experience - something we've all been missing for such a long
time," directors Mariette Rissenbeek and Carlo Chatrian said in
a joint statement.
They said they were looking forward to welcoming filmmakers and
jury members from across the world who could hopefully make the
journey to Berlin next month despite ongoing travel
restrictions.
The programme will be available online from May 20 (www.berlinale.de)
and tickets will go on sale from May 27.
During the online version of the festival, which took place in
March, the Golden Bear was awarded to "Bad Luck Banging or Loony
Porn" by the Romanian director Radu Jude. The sexually explicit
dark comedy depicts the everyday aggressions experienced by a
teacher in contemporary Bucharest.
Other prizewinners at this year's online event included German
actress Maren Eggert, who played a woman resisting a perfect
android's charms in "I'm Your Man", and Hungary's Denes Nagy,
awarded best director for the war movie "Natural Light".
