Art, Culture and Berlinale: A Conversation with Ambassador Ackermann of Germany
The Sunday Guardian
|February 23, 2025
Berlinale, Berlin's prestigious film festival, is known for its political undertones and independent cinema.
In an exclusive conversation with The Sunday Guardian, Dr. Philipp Ackermann, Ambassador of Germany to India, shared his insights on Berlinale's legacy, the political nature of cinema, Indian architecture, and the enduring cultural ties between Germany and India. A passionate art historian, Ambassador Ackermann's deep appreciation for India's artistic and cinematic contributions reveals a vision for strengthened Indo-German collaborations.
Berlinale, Berlin's prestigious film festival, is known for its political undertones and independent cinema. Reflecting on the festival's legacy, Ambassador Ackermann noted, "Berlinale has always been more than just a film festival. It has been a political statement, a cultural melting pot that invites global perspectives." He emphasized that unlike other major festivals, Berlinale is open to the public, creating an inclusive space for cinephiles.
Discussing this year's festival highlights, he touched upon the presence of Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet and the honour bestowed upon Tilda Swinton. "Swinton's acceptance speech made waves, particularly for her views on the BDS movement, which remains a contentious issue in Germany. However, if you want a politically active festival, you have to be ready for diverse perspectives, even when they are uncomfortable."
