\n\tThe award ceremony for the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, the Berlinale, has kicked off in Berlin. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis 2026 competition jury, headed by legendary German director Wim Wenders, will announce the winners of this year\u2019s Gold and Silver Bears. <\/p>\n

\n\tYou can watch the livestream of the awards ceremony on the Berlinale\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe selection for this year\u2019s Berlinale is broadly considered to have been one of the best in years, with several competition titles getting critical raves, and few out-and-out pans. But there are no clear frontrunners going into tonight\u2019s event. <\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the festival\u2019s attempt to keep the focus on the movies<\/a>, politics and social media<\/a> outrage has often been the story of the 2026 Berlinale, with directors and talent fielding questions about Gaza, Donald Trump and the rise of the far-right. <\/p>\n

\n\tJury president Wenders came under attack online after making the comment that filmmakers \u201chave to stay out of politics.\u201d The comment was broadly interpreted as a call for political neutrality, although even the briefest look at Wenders\u2019 life and filmography makes clear he has also been a politically-engaged artist and citizen. <\/p>\n

\n\tOpening this year\u2019s awards ceremony, Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle addressed the subject head-on. She said this year\u2019s festival \u201cfelt raw and fractured,\u201d with many arriving in Berlin \u201cwith grief and anger and urgency about the world that takes place outside the cinema walls.\u201d That grief, that anger and that urgency, she said is \u201creal and belongs in our community. We hear you.\u201d Tuttle noted that while the festival has been \u201cpublicly challenged\u201d by the events of the past 10 days, \u201cthat is good thing. It didn\u2019t always feel good, but t is good because it means the Berlinale matters to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTuttle concluded her remarks noting that the festival needs to acknowledge that \u201cwe are living in a polarized moment,\u201d that \u201ccriticism and speaking up is part of democracy and so is disagreement,\u201d but that the Berlinale will continue to welcome everyone to share in the debate and disagreement. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf this year has been emotionally charged, that is not a failure of the Berlinale and cinema,\u201d she said. \u201cThat is the Berlinale doing its job and cinema doing its job.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSyrian director Ameer Fakher Eldin (The Stranger<\/em>), head of this year\u2019s Berlinale Short Film Jury, also addressed this year\u2019s controversies, arguing that artists and filmmakers \u201cmust insist on complexity\u201d and not be reduced to polemic politics.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cA festival space should not function like a parliamentary floor,\u201d he said. \u201cSome artists speak through their statements, which is ok. Others speak through the long arc of their work, like you Mr. Wenders. Both artists can and must co-exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLebanese director Marie-Rose Osta, accepting her Golden Bear for best short film, for her movie Someday a Child<\/em>, kept it political. She called out Israeli bombings of her home country, and what she called a \u201ccollapse of international law\u201d in the region. \u201cIf this Golden Bear means anything, let it mean that Lebanese and Palestinian children are not negotiable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWenders has been quiet since those comments but his and his jury\u2019s decisions tonight are certain to send a message. <\/p>\n
