Czech documentary Matchmaking Mayor by Erika Hnikova will be presented at upcoming Berlinale in the Forum section. Screening at Berlinale is the international premiere of the film.

East Silver is proud to have Caravan title at Berlinale for the first time, all thanks to Anna Hoffmann, Forum’s programme coordinator, who attended East Silver Market 2010 as the jury member for Silver Eye Award 2010. Matchmaking Mayor was nominated in the feature category.

The International Forum of New Cinema places emphasis on young filmmakers and works that push the limits of the medium and perception itself. Avant-garde, experimental, essays, lengthy observations, political reportages and yet-to-be-discovered cinematographers – that is the Forum in short.
