Berlinale Film Festival reveals its 2024 lineup (Berlin, Germany)

[FWN Adm]

The 74th Berlin International Film Festival has revealed the 20 titles selected for its official Competition as well as its competitive Encounters strand. All Competition titles are world premieres with the exception of Aaron Shimberg's A Different Man, starring Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson, which recently debuted at Sundance and will receive its international premiere in Berlin.

Six of the films are directed or co-directed by women – the same figure as last year – and two are debut features.

South Korea's Hong returns to Berlin, having had six films in Competition at the festival since 2008. His latest, A Traveler's Needs, was described as a comedy and a "light but piercing take on human relationships" by Chatrian at the press conference. It stars French actress Huppert, who will also receive honorary Golden Bear that should could not accept in-person when it was first bestowed in 2022. Huppert previously starred in Hong's In Another Country (2012) and Claire's Camera (2017), both of which premiered at Cannes.
