The Motto 2011: "You Are Leaving The Familiar Sector"

Since its invention, cinema has helped us to imagine what our lives could be like and how the world could look. Film offers an extraordinary glimpse into a world you've never seen, never dreamt of, or never dared to enter. Crossing between sectors in a wall-dominated Berlin used to be an experience where everything could change in the space of a few hundred metres. How do you imagine a world beyond what you've known, and what do you see when you leave the place you know best?

The motto of the BERLIN TODAY AWARD 2011 encourages filmmakers to envision a world beyond the familiar. There are no restrictions on story, location or genre.

The five finalists of the BERLIN TODAY AWARD 2011 will be announced soon.
