Kluge was an accomplished director of intellectually rewarding, if at times oblique filmic essays, and an ever-productive writer of short fiction. He played a key role in organising the rule-breaking New German Cinema movement that brought forth better-known auteurs such as Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog.

Claude Chabrol, the celebrated co-founder of the French New Wave, stated, 'Because men are living, and women are surviving. Cinema is about surviving.' This profound insight influenced Petzold's approach to storytelling.

Hepburn and her mother moved to London in December 1948 so that the 19-year-old could study ballet at Rambert Dance Company.

This year's Tanztage invites its audience to consider the (im)material conditions of artistic production: the body and self as sources for capitalist exchange, the extractive nature of our systems of work and its resulting consequences for marginalized bodies.

Artist and filmmaker Viv Li was born and raised in Beijing, but has lived abroad for 15 years-a fact that has inspired several of her films, in which she navigates identity politics and belonging. An alumna of the Sundance Institute and Berlinale Talents, her latest film 'Two Mountains Weighing Down My Chest' is having its world premiere at the 2026 Berlinale, featured in the Panorama Dokumente section.

The Hungarian Film Artists Association said in a statement that Tarr died on Tuesday after a long and serious illness and that the grieving family asks for the understanding of the press and the public, and that they not be contacted for a statement during these difficult days. Tarr became renowned internationally in the 90s and 00s as his films were shown more widely partly because of their inordinate length (including the seven-and-a-half-hour Satantango),
