Every year the same procedure, every year I spend some of my holidays for this festival to get 10 amazing days full of movies and it's now the third time that I post here some Infos about the movies who I selected
We reaching slowly the start of the 73. Berlinale, who is the biggest public movie Festival at the planet. The Berlinale is split in different Sections to make it a bit easer to decide what you would see. One section is my favorite one, the "Generation" who is also split in two Categories... 14plus for the youth films and Kplus for the "little" ones.
This year I found a lot of movies who are girl related.

A nerdy teenager at the start of a new school year, Mina is keen to fit in. But dance is about to make her stand out. This Norwegian comedy tackles the demons of self-doubt and body-image head on as a young girl dances her fears away.

Some shorts who I found, but I didn't think that I will see them...
Nine-year-old Trang and her family take care of her dying grandmother. As in an ant colony, each member has an important function. Carol Nguyen sensitively provides insights into the construct of family as a microcosm.
Roaming the streets of New York, Queenie is dead set on one thing: getting money. Following the seven-year-old’s shrewd gaze as she navigates the adult world, the film speaks of things parents try to keep hidden, and of childlike tenacity.
Retrospective (bring some picked classics back to the big screen):
A six-year-old girl is used to being adored. She has an identity crisis when a new boy in the neighbourhood refuses to idolise her. This sensitive portrait of a youngster does not trivialise childhood distress, but takes it seriously.
