Hi, I'm Stefan Westerwelle, one of the directors
of the Panorama film Lose Your Head
which will premiere in exactly one hour.
We're picking up tickets.
This is a very special accreditation.
You don't have to queue at 6pm like the others.
We have a completely queue-less booth
which is also heated.
Yes, Gold, which features Marko Mandic
who also played in our film.
It's probably sold out, even here.
That's great.
Have fun.
This is not our film.
Our film...
is this one.
This is the poster.
I'd like to go to Berlinale Palast now.
Let's see if there's a Screen lying about.
That's the most exciting thing
about the day after the premiere,
that you can read the press
and find out what they think
about the films in the competition.
Look, Patrick Schuckmann is over there.
He's the second director.
I'm wearing my Lose Your Head T-shirt.
We're being interviewed by WDR Aktuell now.
Apparently with a photo shoot.
I hope there's make-up available.
So we can hide the hangover a bit.
The problem is, interviews make me
more nervous than premieres.
I worry I don't know what to say.
Looks better.
That's also something
that excited me about the script,
that there is no happy or logical ending,
instead the change is the issue.
With party tourism, people just stay
a few days for the weekend.
That thing of becoming new,
the thing you look for, the promise of the party,
merging with the party takes three days.
The time you're here.
Here tonight. This is not our queue,
tonight will be more packed.
They said it would be pandemonium.
There may even be fistfights.
That's great. I witnessed that once
with Chantal Ackermann.
She only had one showing
and they fought for the tickets.
Let's Get Passionate About Film was the theme.
I think this should be continued.
Cinemas should always be overbooked.
Let's look at clothes now.
Huy Thong is my best friend.
He thinks I never look good enough.
Let's go to his shop and see
what premiere outfit he has in mind for me.
I'm totally in your hands.
What size trousers?
29. 30.
That's by your favourite designer, Davidova.
Great. Let's have a look.
I like it classical.
Yes, mother, I... Yes. I need another...
I need another few minutes. I'll call you
when I'm at the station. Please don't...
Please don't... OK. Bye.
Typical mum.
What did she say?
Nothing. She kept interrupting me.
Where's the car?
Here.
We'll take a taxi.
I'd have to empty the car completely
before I pick up my mother.
I can't do that.
I need to get to the main station.
Certainly.
My mother must be a bundle of nerves.
Are you excited yet?
No. I was terribly excited two days ago.
But it only lasts for a day and then it's gone.
I'll get excited when I get to the cinema.
When you see the queue of people
who want to see the film.
The film is not in competition for the Bears,
but we could win the Panorama Audience Award
or the Heiner Carow Prize,
he was the one who came out back then,
and the Teddy Award,
for which films with *** content compete.
Oh, it's Mum.
Hello, darling.
We'll go up to the lounge now.
A few of our team members are already here.
I'll introduce you.
This is Fernando Tielve, our protagonist.
This is Ute Schall, our editor.
Let me introduce you. It's Patrick Schuckmann,
producer, author and co-director.
Sesede Terziyan who plays Elena.
Stavros Yagulis, to her right.
He plays Kostas.
And if you pan some more to the right...
The second producer of Mutterfilm.
This is incredible. You're a vamp.
Julia Daschner, our cinematographer.
My pleasure.
And the shoes, too. Incredible.
Look, those are the people
who want to see our film.
Most of them are already in there. I feel hot.
Look, this is our sound mixer.
Hi. Good luck.
Right, we'll start. Where is Patrick? There.
Well, I'm bushed now.
Standing ovations in front.
It's too dark. Terrible. A disaster.
Damn colour correction.
Yes, we have to talk to them again.
How was I on stage, tell me?
Yes, I thought you looked natural
but a bit nervous, right?
Which prize would you prefer?
The audience award. Because it's...
It's the bigger award and it doesn't put
the film into a *** category,
be it homosexual or heterosexual.
But all your films so far have been...
Yes. I have to change that.
... homosexual films?
Yes. The theme of homosexuality
is always present, but it's not...
dealing with it is not the primary thing.
We're going to the party now.
