Alla luce dei recenti avvenimenti, il direttore del Festival Dieter Kosslick ha rilasciato una dichiarazione sul film Grâce à Dieu di François Ozon, precedentemente annunciato in competizione: “Grâce à Dieu – about the sexual abuse of children that went on for years in the archdiocese of Lyon – shows how relevant cinema can be. The archbishop and other members of the archdiocese have been charged with keeping their knowledge of cases of abuse a secret. Court proceedings began on January 7, 2019, accompanied by extensive media coverage. The Berlinale will show the film at the beginning of the festival.”
