[DL8], the 8th Berlin International Directors Lounge, the festival for contemporary media and film, 2012, is hitting Berlin in a new vein and venue, this year making the up-and-comer insider tip Naherholung Sternchen its stomping ground. The reason for the move will be clear to all once they hit the doors, literally a stone’s throw from the iconic Kino International near Alexanderplatz Berlin: the location, a one-time thespians’ hangout already steeped in its own history, has clearly been waiting for this moment.
And it's here: 1001 nights at the cinema, all in eleven days. A romping, cinedalic party, the place to see films, rub shoulders with filmmakers and spectators, meet a global set around the bar... and see more films. What's up and coming, with live-events, performances and music thrown in for good measure. This year topped off with a celebration with almost all the Berlin Film Festivals: YOU SAY FESTIVAL, WE SAY PARTY!, The Official Festiwelt Party Wed., Feb. 15 – the night to party with all the movers and shakers of the Berlin (and beyond) film universe. Enough festivals to kill a rhino!
With special presentations by Simon Ellis, Nick Zedd, Yony Leyser, Andreas Müller-Pohle, Miron Zownir, Birol Ünel, Urban Research, Telemach Wiesinger and many others...
