Berlin: Indie Juries Pick ‘Sex’, ‘Dying’ and ‘Cake’

The independent juries of the 74th Berlin International Movie Event early Saturday revealed their choices of the very best motion pictures at the 2024 Berlinale.

Matthias Glasner’s German family members impressive Sterben (Passing away), and the Iranian attribute My Favourite Cake from supervisors Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha, both of which are taken into consideration frontrunners for the leading reward at the main event event on Saturday evening, obtained numerous honors for the indie juries, as did Dag Johan Haugerud’s Norwegian dramatization Sex, a vital fave from this year’s Scenic view sidebar.

Sterben, which adheres to a timeless conductor (played by Lars Eidinger) and his extremely useless family members, won the very best movie honor from the gilde of German arthouse movie theaters and the leading reward granted by the court of Berliner Morgenpost visitors standing for the Berlin paper.

My Favourite Cake, a silent dramatization regarding a 70-year-old widow that gambles on brand-new love, won the Fipresci reward gave out by worldwide movie movie critics, in addition to the leading reward from the ecumenical court for a title in the Berlinale competitors.

Sex, the very first in an enthusiastic Sex Desires Love trilogy by Haugerud, adheres to a set of seemingly heterosexual chimney sweeper in contemporary Oslo that start to doubt the rigorous interpretations of sex and sexuality they have actually matured with. It won the Europa Movie theater Labels honor for ideal European movie at the Berlinale, in addition to the CICAE Art Movie theater reward for ideal movie in Scenic view, and the ecumenical court honor for ideal Scenic view title.
