From the red carpet premieres to the interactive panels, the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival kicks off today and runs through Sunday, February 26, 2023. The Berlin International Film Festival, commonly known as the Berlinale, is one of the most prestigious and highly anticipated events on the international film calendar and promises to be an exciting celebration of the best in global cinema. Established in 1951, the festival showcases a diverse range of films, from art house productions to mainstream blockbusters, attracting filmmakers, actors, and cinema enthusiasts from around the world.

This year, the Generations categories featured two films that were post-produced by Company 3. The film Closing Dynasty was awarded the prestigious Crystal Bear, while Mutt received a Special Mention from the jury. We are incredibly proud to have played a part in bringing these films to life and providing post-production services that helped showcase them at the festival.
