Watch: Berlin’s Iconic Cinema ‘Kino International’ Celebrates 60 Years
One of the most iconic movie theaters in middle of the city of Berlin, Germany is the Kino International. This classic one-screen movie palace is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.

After earning high praise from critics during its premiere at the 2023 Locarno Film Festival, I was lucky to catch up with Jude's Do Not Expect Too Much of the End of the World at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (aka PÖFF) a few months later. Based on all the hyperbolic buzz out of Locarno, I was expecting something close to masterpiece alas it's far from that. Radu Jude certainly is a master filmmaker creating provocative, subversive, clever films about how depraved society is – but this one is a mess. There's a handful of good ideas in here, but the opening & closing segments are so disconnected ...
