My wrap-up of the 59th International Berlin Film Festival is up at the Anthem Magazine site:

With an astonishing number of recent and soon-to-be released films being shot in Berlin (including The Reader, Valkyrie, The International and Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Inglorious Bastards) the German city seems to be enjoying a renaissance as one of Europe’s film capitals.

My coverage of the 10-day festival is divided among various magazines. To start, there’s a lenghty festival overview / wrap-up at Anthemmagazine.com.

Secondly, I contributed a story on Isabella Rossellini’s small screen directorial début, “Green Porno,” for Wired.com.

Visit the website of The New Republic for an in-depth analysis of the film and video work of French director Michel Gondry, whose new film “Be Kind, Rewind,” opened nationwide this past Friday.

As a supplement to that feature, a Q&A I conducted with the quirky and charming filmmaker has been posted as well.

On the horizon is a feature on a food and film series that brought Michelin chefs to cater gourmet meals inspired by films with gastronomic themes, which should appear sometime this week at Gourmet.com.

Even though I was not accredited as a photographer at this year’s Berlinale, I still managed to steal a few surreptitious shots of the festival’s stars. I’ll be posting a selection of photos from this year’s Berlinale shortly. So, stay tuned!
