More Berlinale coverage
Berlin -- Efficiency is thought to be one of the core German values, so perhaps it was no surprise that the news conference to omnibus film "Germany 09" was the most efficient of this year's Berlinale.
Where else could journalists cover the width and breath of current Germany cinema, with 13 of the country's top directors, and still be out in time for lunch?
The director's bakers dozen, sitting alphabetically from Fatih Akin and Wolfgang Becker far left to Tom Tykwer and Hans Weingartner on the right, explored their short film compendium, which ranges in style from documentary to drama to experimental film and is alternatively sad, funny and polemic.
The project, produced by Tykwer, Verena Rahmig and Dirk Wilutzky, was originally conceived as a modern-day take on "Germany in Autumn," from 1978 in which German filmmakers including Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Volker Schlondorff and Alexander Kluge took stock of the current state of their country.
