The Berlin International Film Festival, the world's largest public film festival, is announcing its full lineup today. The festival's official press conference has begun, with new festival director Tricia Tuttle announcing the competition program for the 75th Berlinale.

Richard Linklater's new feature about a Broadway composer, a documentary about young people in war-torn Ukraine and a homage to 1960s' spy films were among the films unveiled on Tuesday as part of the 2025 Berlin Film Festival's competition line-up.

The 19 films in contention for the festival's Golden Bear top prize feature several directors making their return to the German capital, including Romania's Radu Jude, with his new dark comedy Kontinental '25, and South Korea's Hong Sang-soo with his languorous family comedy What Does that Nature Say to You.

Tricia Tuttle has scored big studio films, including Bong Joon-Ho's 'Mickey 17' and Richard Linklater's 'Blue Moon,' for her first Berlinale. But she wants the cinema, not politics, to be center stage.

Radu Jude's latest feature film, Kontinental '25, has been selected for the official competition of the 75th Berlin International Film Festival - Berlinale. A total of 19 films will compete for the Golden and Silver Bears at the event scheduled for February 13-23.
