Retrospective to include around 20 East and West German feature and documentary films from cinema and television.
The Retrospective of the 66th Berlin International Film Festival (Feb 11-21) is to be dedicated to the year 1966, a year considered to be a turning point in German cinema.

★★★★☆ Renowned German director Edgar Reitz's (Heimat) work is not to be taken lightly.
