From the show
Of the three major European film festivals, Berlin's annual event has often featured political films and commentary. Yet this year's jury president Wim Wenders stirred up controversy when he said that artists should "stay out of politics", prompting Indian author Arundhati Roy to cancel her appearance at the festival. Film critic Emma Jones brings us up to date on this heated debate and flags up the movies making headlines at the Berlinale so far.
We also check out the rich people problems of "Rosebud Pruning" with Jamie Bell and Pamela Anderson and hear about Sandra Hüller's impressive performance in 17th-century drama "Rose".
Emma also takes us through the French cinema stars with premieres at the Berlinale this year, as Isabelle Huppert and Juliette Binoche present daring new films.
