Jonah Hill’s directorial debut 'Mid90s' will have its European premiere in Berlin, alongside Seamus Murphy's documentary 'A Dog Called Money' on Brit-pop musician PJ Harvey.
The Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival has unveiled its first selection of titles for the 2019 edition, announcing 22 features that will screen in the sidebar.
The 17 features and five documentary titles are a mix of international art house and politically-themed dramas that has come to exemplify Panorama.
Highlights include Mid90s, Oscar-nominated actor Jonah Hill's directorial debut, Guy Nattiv's neo-Nazi drama Skin starring Jamie Bell and A Dog Called Money, a documentary from award-winning photographer Seamus Murphy on seminal British pop musician PJ Harvey. What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael, Rob Garver's documentary on the legendary New Yorker film critic, will have its European premiere in the Panorama section, as will The Souvenir, a period drama from Archipelago director Joanna Hogg which features the mother-daughter acting duo of Tilda Swinton and first-timer Honor Swinton-Byrne.
A total of 14 of the films will celebrate their world premieres in Berlin, including 37 Seconds from Japanese first-timer Hikari, Federico Bondi's Italian drama Dafne and Flatland, a South African road movie from filmmaker Jenna Bass.
