Panorama

The Panorama presents its films in three series with different profiles:

• Panorama main programme: around 18 feature films such as Kuma, Son of Babylon, Tomboy, Even the Rain or Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood for a broad art house audience.
• Panorama Dokumente: a series of about 16 documentary films from around the world on social and current issues, in-depth reportage, music documentaries or artist portraits. Examples from recent years: Call Me Kuchu, Marina Abramovic The Artist is Present, The Shock Doctrine, The Yes Men Fix The World oder Patti Smith: Dream of Life.
• Panorama Special: about 14 independent productions and films from the US majors such as Iron Sky, Parada, Keep The Lights On, Revanche, Tropa de Elite 2 or Die Wand.
  The public premieres in this series are held as evening screenings in the Friedrichstadt-Palast and in Kino International.

• Panorama Audience Award, in which more than 20,000 Berlinale visitors take part every year

• Amnesty International Film Prize
• Prize of the Ecumenical Jury
• Heiner Carow Prize, sponsored by the DEFA Foundation

Please find more information about awards at the Berlinale under Awards and Juries.

The Panorama grew out of the “Info-Schau”, a programme that complimented the Berlinale Competition in the 1970s. In 1980, Manfred Salzgeber – one of the most important innovators in the Berlin art house cinema scene in the 1970s and co-initiator of the International Forum for New Cinema – was given the job of shaping the content. In 1982 Salzgeber added Wieland Speck to his team and developed a programme that addressed societal struggles and new aesthetic approaches and that never shied away from uncomfortable films. In 1986 the section was renamed Panorama.

Since 1992, the section has been headed by Wieland Speck, who continues in the spirit of his predecessor with regards to the section content. His goal is to take quality independent film out of its niche into the spotlight of the international market.
