Well, there's no business like snow business.

And of course it is not a surprise that in the Berlin International Film Festival this time there are quite a few films dealing with football -- this is to greet FIFA World Cup taking place in Germany this year.

What we do is also cultivate a so-called connections business, where you really have to know a lot of people and where you have to understand them. You have to speak their language and I think you have to have a certain passion for that.

I know sex, football and politics was big last time. But this time, if there is a trend, then it's definitely political.

We don't have any formal motto this year.

This is the strongest appearance by German cinema that we have had for a long time.

The films this year are overall very political, very close to reality … directed toward people's problems, with less fantasy.

We don't have any formal motto this year. We have many films that show a tough world the way it really is.
