Berlinale-válság: az Arany Medve-díjas İlker Çatak a német kormány cenzúrájától tart

Ilker Çatak, a German-Turkish director, commented on the recommendations from the German cultural ministry following threats to dismiss Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle. Tuttle's position was jeopardized due to political controversies surrounding the festival. Over 3000 filmmakers supported her, emphasizing the importance of diverse viewpoints. The Berlinale confirmed Tuttle would remain in her position after a supervisory board meeting. Çatak criticized any external recommendations as potential censorship, asserting the need for artistic freedom. His award-winning film, Yellow Letters, reflects on political persecution in Turkey and will be released in German cinemas soon.
