Berlinale 2026: We Go to Movie "Chronicles From the Siege"

Its Berlinale again

We go to Movie: Chronicles From the Siege

When their city is placed under siege, the lives of a group of ordinary people are turned upside down, forcing each of them to confront impossible choices in pursuit of survival in a war zone. Bodies and minds are equally under attack; and ordinary people are forced to reckon with starvation, inadequate medical treatment, snipers and bomb blasts, as they continue to live, seeking friendship, love, intimacy and the pleasure of a cigarette. At one point, a small group of cinephiles sheltering in their neighbourhood video store is confronted with the moral conundrum of whether or not to burn the movies they have rented, and cherish, to keep warm. The mental impact of the siege is boldly expressed in writing on the door of one of the characters in the ensemble which reads: “I don’t see my life outside the confines of the siege. And I don’t see an end to the siege outside of the confines of my life.”
