Publications & Poster

Several publications are published for the Berlinale, providing information about the complete festival programme. They are complimented by a variety of booklets and flyers on the the festival sections and the special presentations as well as by the Berlinale Journal – a free festival magazine which appears at the beginning of the Berlinale and contains a comprehensive overview of the programme, interviews and articles on the festival’s main topics.

The poster for the Berlinale 2011 was created by designers of the Boros Agency. Just like in the last years, a single motif represents the entire Berlinale.

The 2011 Berlinale poster, which has a big “B” at its centre, was first on display at Potsdamer Platz. As of mid-January it was visible all over Berlin. What’s more, the poster’s motif adorned many of the Festival’s publications.

“‘B’ stands for the Berlinale as well as Berlin. In the background we decided to use luminous beams radiating outwards, a design element that goes back to poster art of the 1920s and alludes to the Berlinale’s extraordinary aura,” says the Boros Agency.

Key visuals of earlier festival editions can be found in the archive.
