Note on Recordings
Media recordings must not disturb the course of events.
TV, film, digital, video, sound recordings and photography that include part of a film screening violate copyright law and are illegal. Failure to comply with this law will be prosecuted.
Access to special and official events is limited and only granted via prior arrangement with the Press Office.
For the Opening and Closing Ceremonies access is limited to registered photographers and radio journalists. TV crews are not permitted. TV, film, video and cell phone recordings are generally not permitted. Access to press pool material may be requested from the Berlinale Press Office at .
Failure to comply with these rules and guidelines can lead to the confiscation of accreditation and immediate exclusion from the event.
Recording any material (image, video, audio) is allowed only in designated press areas and only for use in editorial reporting. The creation of marketing content, PR material or reports that will only be used on social media channels is not allowed in press areas.
Embargo Regulation for World Premieres
Please respect the embargo regulation for world premieres. Reviews of films that celebrate their world premieres at the Berlinale may only be published after the beginning of the first public screening (start of the screening + 30 minutes).
Note: The start time of the event is not always the same as the start of the screening. There may therefore be a separate embargo notice for some films.
