The 91-year-old German filmmaker Edgar Reitz, director of the Heimat trilogy, will be honored at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival with the Berlinale Camera Award.
Reitz will receive the prize, which honors “personalities and institutions who have made a special contribution to filmmaking and with whom the festival feels closely connected,” at the 74th Berlinale on Feb. 22. The award ceremony will be followed by the world premiere of Reitz’s latest work, Filmstunde_23, co-directed with Jörg Adolph, which will screen out of competition as part of the festival’s Berlinale Special program.
Considered one of Germany’s most influential and important directors, Reitz is best known for his three Heimat films, from 1984, 1992 and 2004, which were presented both as feature films and as television series. The film cycle traces a century and a half of German history as seen through the lives of the Simons, a fictional family from the Hunsrück area of Rhineland-Palatinate,...

Munich-based sales agent Global Screen has closed deals on major territories for nature documentary “The Hidden Life of Trees,” based on Peter Wohlleben’s non-fiction bestseller, which has been published in more than 40 countries.
Capelight has acquired all rights for North America, with Metropolitan picking up France. Further deals are being lined up for Canada (Mongrel Media), Spain (Surtsey Films) and the Benelux (Paradiso).
The Constantin Film production, which attracted nearly 350,000 German cinemagoers before theater attendance was put on hold by the coronavirus pandemic, provides answers to such questions as: Are trees able to talk? Do they have a memory? Do they have a social life?
“Director Jörg Adolph (“Parents’ School”) combines a portrait of a man who understands the language of trees with breathtaking nature footage from the world of forests to create a documentary that is as entertaining as it is fascinating,” according to a statement from Global Screen.
