Berlinale’s Panorama unveils first wave of 2024 titles
The Berlin Film Festival has unveiled the first 11 titles to play in its Panorama section, seven of which are world premieres.
The line-up includes Josef Hader’s second film Andrea Gets a Divorce, following on from his 2017 Berlinale competition film Wild Mouse. The Austrian feature centres on a rural policewoman Andrea who commits a hit-and-run after her drunken soon-to-be ex-husband runs out in front of her car.
Ray Yeung returns to Panorama with Hong Kong-China production All Shall Be Well, having world premiered Suk Suk in the section in 2019. His latest focuses on a woman who, following the death of her long-term partner, defends her right to property and to having a say.
Jeremy Clapin, whose animation I Lost My Body played in Cannes’ Critics Week in 2021, will world premiere Meanwhile on Earth, about a sibling whose brother disappeared on a space mission – until one day she is contacted by an unidentified life form.
Aslı Özge returns to Panorama with Faruk about an old man who becomes the protagonist in the film his daughter is making about the impending demolition of his block of flats in Istanbul. Özge’s most recent feature Black Box premiered at Munich this year, while 2016 feature All Of A Sudden debuted in Berlinale Panorama.
Elsewhere in the Panorama line-up is the European premiere of Nora Fingscheidt’s The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan. The Orkney Islands-set film has its world premiere at Sundance next month. Jane Schoenbrun also brings the international premiere of A24 horror I Saw Your TV Glow, which also debuts at Sundance.
