It's one of the Big Three European Film Festivals, along with the fiercely business-like Cannes Festival, and the more high-minded Venice one.

New Zealand's contribution to Berlin this year is a couple of short films - as well as curiosity about the launch of the TV series based on Eleanor Catton's award-winning novel The Luminaries.
