Paul Diamond at the Berlin film festival

From Standing Room Only, 12:45 pm on 1 March 2020

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.  But the Berlin Film Festival always likes to sell itself as a party, aa celebration of film and film-going - as well as these days, films and TV series on streaming services like Netflix.

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.

Former RNZ producer Paul Diamond talks to Standing Room Only from Berlin.
