Festival adapts to recent security concerns and adds initiatives for refugees.
Berlin festival director Dieter Kosslick has spoken publicly about security measures for the forthcoming Berlinale (Feb 11-21) and initiatives to build bridges between the festival and newly arrived refugees now living in the German capital.
In an interview with the Berlin newspaper B.Z., Kosslick was asked whether the Paris terrorist attacks in November would result in any changes to the festival’s security policy.
“We are always adjusting our security conditions to the particular current situation, and we work very closely here with the security services and the police,” said Kosslick. “But, in principle, we have a lot of security in place which we naturally try to keep as discreet as possible.”
Long-time visitors to the festival will no doubt remember the 2002 edition – held less than six months after 9/11 – when elaborate airport-style security checks were made on guests as they entered the Berlinale Palast.
