The German film festival will chop entire program parts as it looks to save millions.
BBC Studios Hits Record $2.7B Annual Revenue, Driven by 40 Percent Content Studio Gain, 'Bluey' Merchandise
The Berlinale will also further trim its overall program, with the total number of films cut to around 200 . Every section, with the exception of the main competition, will present fewer films. The cuts were precipitated by belt-tightening at the German Culture Ministry, which co-finances the Berlinale. The ministry bankrolls the Berlinale to the tune of $11.8 million annually. It topped that up by an additional $2.4 million in 2022 and 2023 to help cover rising costs, but that funding runs out this year.
Berlin’s third financial pillar, ticket sales, looks more secure. Berlin sold 320,000 tickets to screenings at this year’s fest, securing its position as the world’s top public film event.
