Winters in Berlin are notoriously awful; it’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dark and it’s windy.\u00a0Every time you leave the house\u00a0the tiresome procession of putting on hats and coats and jumpers and scarves is enough to make you want to stay at home. Nevertheless, there is a brief shining moment worth sticking around the city for: Berlinale. Ostensibly the biggest film festival in the world (we’re talking size \u2013\u00a0Cannes still reigns supreme with regards to star power),\u00a0this year’s Berlinale will premiere the latest and greatest films from auteurs such as Kaurism\u00e4ki, Schlondorff and Boyle.<\/em>
\nWhile the competition films are exciting, chances are they will make it to your local box office in the near future. Much more transient are the art-house films\u00a0premiering at the Forum and Panorama sections. This could be your only chance to see these movies, as they\u00a0don’t always receive worldwide release. Read below for our selection of\u00a0the 10 art-house films you can’t-miss at this year’s Berlinale.<\/em>

Section<\/strong>Forum\u00a0<\/strong> \nAn intense exploration of the dream-state, somniloquies\u00a0<\/em>interrogates the barrier between sleep and the human body. At a brisk 73 minutes, this experimental movie promises to be quite unique.

Off Frame aka Revolution Until Victory<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Forum Expanded
\nThis documentary is a collection of other films, spliced together. Taking\u00a0together a\u00a0vast amount of Palestinian struggle cinema made between 1968 and 1982, director Mohanad Yaqubi creates a revolutionary experience all his\u00a0own.
\nWhen’s It Screening:\u00a0<\/strong>Monday, February 13, 16:30, Delphi Filmpalast; Friday February 17, 17:30, Kino Arsenal 1

Fighting Through The Night<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Panorama Documentary

\n

The Kali of Emergency<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Forum Expanded
\nHow do gods live in modern society? The Kali of Emergency seeks to answer this question, in the process creating<\/a> “a metaphysical contemplation in times of perpetual emergencies.”
\nWhen’s It Screening:\u00a0<\/strong>Friday, February 10, 19:00, Akademie Die K\u00fcnste; Saturday February 11, Kino Arsenal 1\n<\/div>\n

\"From From “Streetscapes\u00a0[Dialogue],” 2017<\/p>\n

Streetscapes\u00a0[Dialogue]<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Forum
\nA very playful, metafictional film indeed, Streetscapes<\/em>[Dialogue]\u00a0<\/em>starts with a film director talking to his therapist about his work, before wondering whether these conversations could be made into a film. Yet, before we know it, this very idea becomes the film we are watching. A sly exploration of what it means to be an artist.\n<\/div>\n

When’s It Screening:\u00a0<\/strong>Monday, February 13, 18:45, Delphi Filmpalast; Sunday, February 19, 11:00, Cinestar 8
\n <\/p>\n

\n

\"Films\" From “Skins,” 2017<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Skins<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Panorama Special
\nNot to be confused with the British TV series,\u00a0Skins\u00a0<\/em>uses an\u00a0extremely stylised, episodic style in order to bend commonly held notions about sex, gender and beauty standards.
\nWhen’s It Screening:\u00a0<\/strong>Saturday, February 11, 21:30, Zoo Palast 1; Sunday, February 12, 12:45, Cinemaxx 7; Monday,\u00a0February 13, 17:00, Cubix 9; Saturday,\u00a0February 18, 22:45, Cubix 7 & 8, Sunday, February 19, 22:30, Colosseum 1
\n <\/p>\n

\"Films\"<\/a> From “From The Balcony,” 2017<\/p>\n

From The Balcony<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Panorama
\nThe premise is simple, but highly intriguing. A man sits on a balcony and, while watching life go by,\u00a0takes us on a\u00a0journey through his stream-of-consciousness. With a mix of documentary footage, animation and video clips, From The Balcony<\/em>\u00a0looks to be a unique collage about a man and his unique place in the world.
\nWhen’s It Screening:\u00a0<\/strong>Sunday, February 12, 20:00, Cinemaxx 7; Monday,\u00a0February 13, 22:45, Cinestar 3; Tuesday, February 14, 20:15, Cubix 7 & 8; Wednesday, February 15, 17:45, Cinestar 3; Saturday,\u00a0February, 18, 20:00, Cinemaxx 7
\n <\/p>\n

\"Films\" From “Spin,” 2017<\/p>\n

Spin<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Forum Expanded
\nTackling both the heady concept of “spinning” in experimental physics and Sufism in Islam, Spin<\/em>\u00a0looks to be a much-needed bridge between both scientific and religious concepts. Mixing fictional characters with real-life interviews, the film will also be as experiential as it is enlightening.
\n <\/p>\n

\"Films\" From “Untitled,” 2017<\/p>\n

Untitled<\/h2>\n

Section:\u00a0<\/strong>Panorama Documentary
\nUntitled<\/em>\u00a0appears to be an unimaginative title \u2013 until you realise the circumstances surrounding its production. Taking a purposefully aimless journey around the world to create an image<\/a> “that can only be made if you don’t follow a topic,” filmmaker Michael Glawogger died in the process of making this film. Therefore, it was up to editor Monika Willi to shape something transcendental from the raw material he left behind. With that in mind, the title makes perfect sense.
\nWhen’s It Screening:\u00a0<\/strong>Monday,\u00a0February 13, 19:30, International; Tuesday,\u00a0February 14, 22:30, Cinestar 7; Wednesday,\u00a0February 15, 14:00, International; Saturday,\u00a0February 18, 17:00, International; Sunday,\u00a0February 19, 17:00, Cinestar 7
\n <\/p>\n

\"Films\" From “A Year Of Non-Events,” 2017<\/p>\n

From a Year of Non-Events<\/h2>\n

Section<\/strong> Forum
\nWith a runtime seven minutes shorter than its subject’s 90-year lifespan, From A Year of Non-Events is an essay on the nature of life through the depiction of an old man who lives alone in northern Germany. It promises to be as interesting as it will be visually ravishing.
\nWhen’s It Screening<\/strong> Saturday, February 11, 17:30, Kino Arsenal 1;\u00a0 Tuesday, February 14, 14:00, Akademie der K\u00fcnste; Thursday, February 16, 19:30, Cinemaxx 4; Saturday, February 18, 16:30, Delphi Filmpalast
