Berlin Film Festival announces lineup for Forum sectionJanuary 15, 2015 - 16:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Berlin Film Festival on Thursday, Jan 15 unveiled the lineup for its Forum section, The Hollywood Reporter said. It will show a total of 43 films in its main program, of which 31 are world premieres and 10 international premieres. "This year’s program will be opened by what is probably Canadian director Guy Maddin’s most rampant and anarchic film to date," the festival said. "The Forbidden Room comes across like an apparently chaotic, yet always significant eroto-claustrophobic nightmare that never seems to want to end. Its countless fantastic plotlines are inspired by real, imaginary and photographic memories of films from the silent era now lost, to which the half-damaged nitrate print aesthetic also pays fabulous homage."

She called on others to also suspend their accounts over the companies’ failure to tackle hate speech.
