From February 9 until February 15, 2013, one arthouse cinema served as an additional Festival venue for an evening and showed films from the Berlinale programme. As customary at the Berlinale, many of the filmmakers and their crew personally presented their works at these neighbourhood screenings. Afterwards, they answered questions and discussed their films with the audience. Besides the filmmakers and their crews, a patron of each cinema was on hand to welcome the public to the Flying Red Carpet: a renowned film personality acted as patron of each location and so supported the cultural activities of "his" or "her" favourite neighbourhood cinema.
