For the seventh time the Berlin International Film Festival and its official partner the Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO) will be presenting young German and French film fans with the opportunity to join the jury for the “Dialogue en perspective” award 

With a total of 14 films, the Perspektive Deutsches Kino programme is now complete. In addition to the six films previously announced, another eight works have been added, films that once again embody the thematic and formal wealth of new German film 

The ninth edition of Perspektive Deutsches Kino begins with good news: Drama can be done differently. The section will open with the film Renn, wenn du kannst (Run if you can). Director Dietrich Brüggemann (graduate of the HFF “Konrad Wolf” in Babelsberg) participated in the section in 2006 with his superb exercise in style, Neun Szenen (Nine Takes) 

The Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO), official partner of the Berlinale, is calling for applications to enter the jury for the “Dialogue en perspective” award in the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section 

Director of the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section Alfred Holighaus will be taking on new tasks this coming year: in January he will join the management of the Deutsche Filmakademie e.V., though he will still carry out his curatorial duties at the Berlinale 2010
