The gallery section seems to have have too many pictures, should it be tagged as such? FruitDefence ( talk) 19:28, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
The years given in the list are the years of the ceremonies. Sometimes a winner film is of the same year (I assume because it premieres in the Festival) but many of the films are of the previous year. Is it correct that each award is given for the previous year's films, like in Academy awards? I ask because I am including Golden Bear awards along with the other awards in the years in film (as in 1996 in film). In the other awards the ceremony is actually takes place in the next year. Should the same be done with the Berlin awards? Hoverfish 21:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
It depends. The festival takes place in Febuary, so most films that are shown were made the previous year. But some are also finished shortly before the festival, and are therefore from the same year in which the ceremony is held. I hope that helps! Kayanna89 ( talk) 19:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Using info at the Berlin festival's website, I started a chart for Silver Bear winners for Best Director, Actress & Actor (I gave up trying to figure out the differences among the various Jury awards, some of which seem to change meaning over the years).
I don't know if there's a way to add a subpage to an article in order to work on time-consuming charts, so I'm going to put it here and if it needs to be moved, then by all means move it. I'm not sure how to split the secondary columns (there are co-winners for some years in some categories), so others more skilled in this stuff will have to handle that kind of thing. (note: there are more entries than needed, so best to work backward from most recent winners) RoyBatty42 01:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The entry for Hanro Smitsman needs checking. I've provided a citation, but he more I read it the more it confuses me! Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 16:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
This has been inserted twice now by users. Most of it is substantively the same as the descriptions available at http://internationalfilmfestivals.suite101.com/article.cfm/berlinale_2010. It is insufficient merely to erase a few words here and there, or to change a single sentence amidst a block of text. The descriptions should be properly re-written so as to comply with Wikipedia's policies on citing sources and plagiarism. This is clearly outlined in the plagiarism policy page, in which it is stated that instances of plagiarism - whether intentional or not - can be remedied by by "rewriting text completely into your own words". It is further outlined in Wikipedia's discussion of close paraphrasing. The marginal edits made to the original Suite 101 article are minimal and hence do not meet the threshold of sufficient rephrasing. If the person who copy-pasted the sections from the Suite 101 website is in fact the original author, they should donate the copyrighted material in accordance with Wikipedia procedures.

I rewrote the entire history section (referencing the Berlinale's own archives) to lose the unwieldy focus on the most recent years and to give a basic overview of developments since 1951, including a brief overview of all the festival directors to date (Bauer, Donner, de Hadeln and Kosslick). Mowerbyte ( talk) 00:26, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
Isn't there/wasn't there a short-film award called something like "Small Golden Berlin Bear"? Le songe des chevaux sauvages seems to have won it in 1960. I don't see it in the article. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 10:40, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
The article states that it's the largest publicly attended film festival. However, the Toronto International Film Festival also makes the same, or similar, claim. According to its wikipedia article, total admissions were over half a million, vs. Berlinale's 487000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanTrent ( talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Dozens of Wikipedia pages refer to one film or another winning the Alfred Bauer award at the Berlin International Film Festival but this article does not even mention this award, much less describe it.
Can a knowledgeable contributor provide a paragraph on this award? -- Ross Fraser ( talk) 02:35, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
I would be grateful if someone can add Black 47 to the 2018 in Film Wikipedia article. The Film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival 2018 and is due to be launched in cinemas worldwide soon.

Has Berlin always been "Berlin International Film Festival"?
Was it known at some point as "Berlin Film Festival"?
Is there another festival called Berlin Film Festival?
I'm wondering because while searching for production company and distribution company websites of a 2010s feature film on the Wayback Machine, so I could add them to the films page on IMDB, I noticed that the site already listed as an "official site" on IMDB was titled "Berlin Film Festival in both the .co.uk url and the site title.
The only clickable page was the main page of the film. It contained a quote from the director (who mainly works as a stuntman) saying "It's great being at Berlin Film Festival again" and a list of the cast at the side. A few years later that information was replaced with a poster for another feature film by the same director.
I later found another dead link for the film with the films title this time, which was identical to the website titled Berlin Film Festival.
I've checked film listings of various 2010s programmes on Berlinale archives, and none of them mention this 2010s feature film.
I suspect it wasn't actually shown at any Berlin Film Festival, and it was just the director making a false website to try and make the film look bigger than it was.
I've seen with quite a lot of people on IMDB over the years doing similar things to make themselves look more important, including some recognisable faces ie by claiming to have won awards that they haven't won, changing their character names, putting themselves higher in the cast credit order, adding false crew credits etc...
However this is the first time I've seen someone create a possible fake website.
And not only that, a .co.uk website for a non-British film festival. Danstarr69 ( talk) 08:35, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
