A. MUST. WATCH… till the end, it’s only 3:22 short.
(from Jung & Naiv on Youtube, 2026-02-12)

>> Don‘t ask about #Palestine at #Berlinale! Tilo [Jung] attended today‘s press conference of the festival‘s jury and asked about the selective treatment of human rights. The Berlinale has famously shown solidarity with the people of Iran and Ukraine. But never with Palestinians. Jury president Wim Wenders refused to engage and actually said: „We have to stay out of politics“ 🤯

>> Tilo‘s question and the following got censorsed on the Berlinale official livestream which suddenly experienced „technical difficulties“. This footage comes from the Reuters news agency instead.

>> The pushback from #Berlinale jury head #WimWenders when it came to answering questions about politics sparked no shortage of headlines and outrage on the opening day of this year’s festival.

>> It’s now led to one major withdrawal from Berlin, a typically highly political festival, with news that celebrated Indian author #ArundhatiRoy has pulled out...
