Auf der #Berlinale will man scheinbar weiterhin ungestört imperialistisch Propagaganda machen.

Bitte nicht das "Wir, der Westen, sind die Guten"-Narrativ mit dem man den eigenen liberalen #Nationalismus begründet stören.

Zensiert die Berlinale? Als ich gerade meine Frage an die Jury zum Thema Politik und selektive Menschenrechte stelle, wird der Livestream online unterbrochen. Angeblich „technische Störung“. Weder die Antworten noch die Unruhe im Saal sind zu sehen.

>> My question to the #Berlinale jury just got censored by the festival on their livestream. The so-called „technical difficulties“ suddenly ended after the answers to my question about selective human rights and solidarity with #Palestine. <<

Posting from Drop Site News on Twitter:

The live feed for the Berlinale, the Berlin International Film Festival, which is primarily financed by the German federal government, was cut when journalist Tilo Jung asked about the festival’s “selective solidarity” with Iran and Ukraine, and lack of solidarity with Palestinians. Jury president and Oscar-nominated director Wim Wenders replied: “We have to stay out of politics.”

That contrasts with what Wenders said last year. In 2024, he praised the festival’s political identity: “The Berlinale has traditionally always been the most political of the major festivals, it doesn’t stay out of things now, and it won’t in the future either… I like the Berlinale because it always speaks up and says something.” — Posting from Drop Site News on Twitter: The live feed for the Berlinale, the Berlin International Film Festival, which is primarily financed by the German federal government, was cut when journalist Tilo Jung asked about the festival’s “selective solidarity” with Iran and Ukraine, and lack of solidarity with Palestinians.

Streisand effect is working. Well done, Tilo Jung!

I assume the German media will be again silent about this censorship.

>> Don't ask about Palestine at the Berlinale!

Here's my question to the jury about selective solidarity of the film festival with the people of Iran and Ukraine vs. Palestinians. Wim Wenders (jury president) actually said: "We have to stay out of politics" #Berlinale2026 <<

Liberals will be liberals. Privileged loudmouths who signal left but then prefer to cooperate with the fascists, because fascism doesn't threaten their wealth. Cowardly hypocrites.
