Some filmmakers may feel as if they have been eaten alive when they read the reviews in the morning
after a premiere. But do critics really pleasurably
feast on directors? Isn\'t a review just a written-down opinion about a piece of art? The relationship between critics and filmmakers traditionally suffers from a two-way distrust: one party doesnt believe in the others attitude towards their art and crafts. On the other hand: one couldn\'t exist without the other the classical Catch-22 of a love-hate relationship.
But we want to help! Moderated by Peter Cowie, film historian and former international publisher
of Variety, critics Margret Köhler (Germany), Michel Ciment (France) and Derek Malcolm (UK) will meet a filmmaking guest from the Berlinale. Together they will work it out, once and for all.
