Berlinale Head Tricia Tuttle Talks 2025 Line-Up, Of Stars, Healing Divisions & Reassuring Filmmakers About Fest's Commitment To Free Speech - Deadline Q&A
Outside of the competition, Tuttle may have secured a starrier than usual red carpet with previously announced invitations to works including Justin Kurzel’s series The Narrow Road To The Deep North with Jacob Elordi, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, with Robert Pattinson, and fresh addition A Complete Unknown, with Timothée Chamalet, but she is keeping the full guest list under hat for now. In the backdrop, Tuttle has also been dealing with the fallout from events that took place ahead of her arrival, topped by the closing night row over prizewinner No Other Land and the co-directors criticisms of Israel’s actions in Gaza, which prompted accusations of antisemitism from a clutch of German politicians; long-running funding issues and the thorny question of whether members of the rising far-right AfD party should be on the guest list or not. DEADLINE: You took the unusual step of putting out a statement in November in support of No Other Land when a blurb on the Berlin city council’s website in the lead-up to the film’s theatrical release in Germany suggested it was antisemitic.
