2. Medium pan from left to right from Moroccan director Nabil Ayouch, Argentinean director Rodrigo Moreno, German actor and filmmaker Maria Schrader, American director Todd Haynes, Chinese actor Fan Bingbing, German costume designer Dina Beigeler, American film critic Amy Nicholson and Berlinale festival director Tricia Tuttle
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Todd Haynes, director/jury head:
"We are in a state of particular crisis right now in the United States, but also globally. And I think everyone I know in the United States and friends abroad are witnessing this barrage of actions in the first three weeks of the Trump administration with tremendous concern and shock. And I have no doubt that there will be many people who did, in fact, vote for this president who will be quickly disillusioned by promises that he made about economic stability in the United States."
4. Wide of presser with Ayouch, Moreno, Schrader and Haynes
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Maria Schrader, actor/filmmaker:
"We all are craving for peace and freedom. And I think the culture and the imaginary world we are celebrating for the next 10 days are providing these spaces which we cannot value enough. So this is a political process, and that’s what the beautiful political aspect of a film festival like this is, in my opinion."
6. Wide of presser
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Nabil Ayouch, director:
"I think that, yeah, facing some people like the one we were talking about in the U.S. right now, thinking that he can buy the whole world, he can buy Gaza, he can buy Greenland, he can buy Panama. We have to be strong everywhere in the world, And I think that people today wants to hear strong voices from us. Because sometimes from the politics, they don’t have enough strong voices right now."
