The publicist for the British Film Institute shares her take on the BerlinInternationalFilmFestival.
You really can do so much on foot and public transport is great. The history and architecture. Business wise you can get to see a lot of people in a short space of time. If you’re organizing an event, German efficiency is just a joy.It used to be the thick cigarette smoke in restaurants, everywhere in fact, but that it’s in the past. The wind-chill knock you sideways some years.
Arriving to try and find the key to my Airbnb which was in a lockbox on a bike amongst a gazillion others and it was late at night; contemplating sitting in a 24-hour kebab shop because my phone had died. So not glamorous!Try to take time out to get to the Jewish cemetery, it’s huge and moving. Think layers on the clothes front.Always the British Council parties, always in the most unusual places. I always remember the one in the empty swimming pool.
