Berlin (Reuters). The Berlinale is financially for years to come on solid ground. In the future, the government wants to help the film festival with an annual cash injection over 6.5 million euros, as Culture Minister Bernd Neumann said in an interview the "Berliner Morgenpost" on Sunday. "There is no cultural event in Germany and in Berlin, which reaches such a broad public, such a high level of attention," praised Neumann. It is therefore the interest of the Federal Republic, to host such cultural highlight and maintain well.
Neumann also acknowledged that the Berlinale now occupies two thirds of the 21 million total cost through sponsorship, ticket prices and merchandise itself. This he sees primarily as a credit to the festival boss: "It is thanks solely Dieter Kosslick, the attractiveness, quality and importance of the Berlinale have grown enormously, that the chances of additional resources are greater today than ever before in the history of festivals.
