More Berlinale coverage
Munich -- The Berlin International Film Festival's Panorama art house sidebar is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and organizers have programmed an intricate lattice of cinematic events to mark the occasion.
One pair of films succeeds in weaving together the Panorama's threefold goal: premiering debut works by eclectic directors, finding successful films with serious political content and becoming the go-to international festival for gay and lesbian-themed cinema.
In 1985, Panorama (then known as "Info-Schau") presented the international premiere of Robert Epstein's Oscar-winning documentary "The Times of Harvey Milk," the same year it screened Gus van Sant's directorial debut "Mala Noche." This year, van Sant's Oscar-nominated biopic "Milk" will be shown side by side with Epstein's film, bringing both van Sant's Panorama career and the assassinated San Francisco mayor's cinematic story full circle.
A similar web of artists and themes creates what Panorama organizers are dubbing "the John Hurt tryptych.
