I am very proud to have been chosen as one of eight young film critics chosen to take part in Berlinale Talent Press, a critics' talent campus which allows us to cover Berlinale as press. One of the most exciting aspects for me was being able to meet and work with veteran Guardian/London Evening Standard critic Derek Malcolm, who has worked in the field for over 40 years and come across all the greats, from John Ford to Robert Altman to Rainer Werner Fassbinder. I was able to soak in all the chaotic glee of Berlinale, and review several films throughout the week for the Talent Press website, as well. You can find links to the work I did here:
Professional Intimacy: An Interview with Anja Marquardt
Noam's Arch: A Review of Is The Man Who is Tall Happy
Big Fish, Little Fish: A Review of Yannis Economides' STRATOS
