The Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival), held each February in Berlin, is one of the world’s major film festivals. Celebrating cinematic artistry and emerging talent, it draws global audiences and industry professionals for premieres, market deals through the European Film Market, and cultural exchange. Irish films such as Black ’47, 32A, Christy, The Butcher Boy, and An Cailín Ciúin have all premiered at the festival.
A tour de force of queer cinema, 'Uchronia' is camp, queer, and uncompromising. Its ghosts resurrect revolutionary voices erased from history, casting a caustic eye over nationalism, colonialism, fascism, and the commodification of queerness. Naemi Victoria takes a look.
