BERLIN (AP) — The annual Berlin film festival will open next month with the premiere of a new movie from Chinese director Wang Quan’an, “Apart Together.”
Organizers said Tuesday that the latest film from Wang — whose “Tuya’s Marriage” won Berlin’s top Golden Bear award in 2007 — will kick off the festival Feb. 11.
The Berlin event — in its 60th edition this year — is the first of the year’s major European film festivals. It runs through Feb. 21.
The closing film will be Japanese director Yoji Yamada’s “About Her Brother,” screening out of competition.
