The Berlin Film Festival’s 2025 Panorama section will launch with Welcome Home Baby, a psychological horror film from Austrian director Andreas Prochaska, leading a lineup of 34 films from 28 countries. The section head Michael Stütz unveiled the full program that addresses societal fractures, health systems, and democratic instability on Thursday.
Prochaska’s film reimagines the homeland horror genre as a response to 1950s German-language cinema. The selection continues its genre focus with the Norwegian body horror The Ugly Stepsister, Turkish political thriller Confidante, and Taiwanese gangster narrative Silent Sparks.
German productions hold a significant presence this year with six films. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay presents the conspiracy thriller Hysteria, while five female directors bring new works. Debut features come from Nele Mueller-Stöfen with Delicious and Sarah Miro Fischer with The Good Sister. Ina Weisse reunites with Nina Hoss for Cicadas.

Exclusive: Viaplay will debut scripted shows Rebus and Ronja the Robber’s Daughter in the U.S. in November.
Both shows were Viaplay originals that were sold after the streamer retooled last year in a face of financial challenges, and now come to Viaplay’s U.S. service through Viaplay Content Distribution.
Rebus stars Richard Rankin (Outlander) in the title role as the gruff Scottish detective. Set in Edinburgh, the crime thriller reimagines the John Rebus character as a younger Detective Sergeant, drawn into a violent criminal conflict that turns personal when his brother Michael, a former soldier, crosses the line into criminality.
It will debut on Thursday, November 7, with all six episodes available via the Viaplay U.S. service, which is distributed through third-party platforms.

“Game of Thrones” star Pilou Asbæk and Iben Hjejle (“High Fidelity”) are leading the Nordic cast of “Secrets,” a contemporary Danish drama series directed by Kaspar Munk (“Ride Upon the Storm”) and represented globally by Viaplay Content Distribution.
Asbæk and Hjejle star as Mads and Eva, siblings who struggle to set boundaries and free themselves from old patterns as they live next to each other with their respective families in Copenhagen. Mads is a music teacher who escapes into a world of partying and drugs to avoid his predictable everyday life and family responsibilities. Eva, meanwhile, is trying to save both her marriage and her company, an architectural firm facing a serious crisis after a tragic death.
The eight-part series, which Munk co-wrote with Lone Hørslev, explores family relationships, abuse and co-dependency. Two of Scandinavia’s best-established producers, Anders Toft Andersen (“Follow the Money”) and Rasmus Kastberg (“Bamse”) are producing at Monday Scripted.

Before embarking on its eight-episode journey, be warned: “Kamikaze” is fixated on two of the ideas attached to its title you’re likely to think of first: death and flying. The HBO Max original series — the streamer’s first Danish-language original, as well as its first global day-and-date release to be commissioned and produced in Europe — revolves around a young woman determined to end her life, in a way similar to how the rest of her family recently died, and opens with Julie (played with pensive purpose by newcomer Marie Reuther) attempting suicide by crashing a small plane in the desert.
For those who don’t balk at the dire central premise, what awaits is a thoughtful personal exploration via extravagant choices, an attuned, moving lead performance, and lots and lots of flying. “Kamikaze” may not be revelatory in its overarching story, but it moves with an assured pace (half-hour...

Period tragicomedy “Blackport,” backed by Icelandic public broadcaster Ruv and European network Arte, won top honors on Thursday at leading European TV festival Series Mania taking its Grand Prize.
The biggest plaudit at Lille’s Series Mania represents the festival’s second prize for the series after it awarded it best pitch kudos at the Berlinale Co-Pro Series in 2018.
“Blackport” represents a deep-dive into recent Icelandic history, kicking off in 1983 as a quota system is introduced in Iceland to protect fish stock, with ships being granted fishing rights based on their most recent three-year history.
Half family saga, half tragic farce, “Blackport” records how Harpa, a village council secretary builds a local fishing empire in a stunning western fjord but at an ever larger cost as the decade plays out.
Shot on location and based on true fact, “Blackport” oozes two of the calling cards of contemporary drama series: a...

One moment, Julie, just 18, a fashion influencer, 159,258 followers, is swanning down a street in Copenhagen, with her BFFs Constanze, Micke and Sofia. The next, her parents and big brother are dead, killed in a plane crash in Africa.
Julie gets the family mansion, but can’t think of any good reasons for living.
There’s a before and after, Julie says in “Kamikaze,” HBO Max’s first Danish original. “Before when I thought of time, that would bring me closer to whatever I was looking forward to. And now I only think of time as something between myself and all the things I will never get back,” she reasons.
Over the course of eight energetic half-hour episodes, Julie seeks a reason to live, while attempting comic and dramatic life-exits in a journey which takes her to Seoul, London, Mexico and finally, in an narrative stretch which punctuates the whole series,...

Although it could have become a Nordic take on Blue Is the Warmest Colour, this well-acted Danish social drama deftly shows the blurry overlap of girlish sensuality and lesbian desire
This Scandinavian teen-centric film doesn't have the anarchic effervescence of Lukas Moodysson's We Are the Best!, last week's Scandinavian, teen-centric movie, but this more brooding work also astutely explores the subtle head games and micro-politics of adolescent girls, in this case that of 16-year-olds in suburban Denmark. When the story starts, Laura (Julie Andersen) and Christine (Emilie Kruse) are seemingly inseparable BFFs, but then Laura finds herself irresistibly drawn to new girl Maria (Frederikke Dahl Hansen), a troubled sophisticate with a wild streak. Working with a semi-improvised script, director Kaspar Munk deftly shows the blurry overlap between girlish sensuality, with its experimental kisses and sleepovers, and outright lesbian desire. At one point, it looks like this will turn into...

★★★☆☆Teenage rebellion is a well-documented phenomenon and one that plays particularly well on film, where bright, sexy images can be used to punctuate the sound of tutting adults. Kaspar Munk's Danish offering You & Me Forever (2012) fits neatly into this sub-genre, obeying most of the conventions that we know - intense platonic friendship, interloping third-parties, burgeoning sexuality and parental concern - without ever really challenging that set of rules. Munk appears to follow the age-old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it', leaving the narrative somewhat pedestrian. Thankfully, the film's vivacious performances and visual aesthetic are there to pick up the slack, elevating this Scandi drama above the pitfalls of imitation.

There isn’t a month that goes by that I don’t silently send thanks to having gone to high school before cellphones were the hip thing. If it was hard being an awkward teenager before, it’s undoubtedly more difficult now when your awkwardness can be instantly uploaded online for everyone to see.
That doesn’t seem to be exactly what happens in Kaspar Munk’s feature film debut Hold Me Tight (Hold om mig) but it’s darn close. Written by Jannik Tai Mosholt who was also responsible for the Danish horror film Room 205 (review) (currently in Sam Raimi’s remake pile), it’s the story of four teens and an event that arises from a misunderstanding and is caught by cellphone video.
My language skills aren’t enough to discern what’s going on in this trailer and the video clues are tantalizingly vague but it certainly looks promising.
