Kapitel.Von wegen 'Schicksal' (Is This Fate?) (1979).Helga Reidemeister’s Von wegen ‘Schicksal’ (Is this Fate?) (1979) begins in a space of near total darkness. At the center of the frame is 48-year-old Irene Rakowitz, whose tumultuous family life at the social housing estate Märkisches Viertel constitutes the heart of this unblinking documentary.

Berlin -- Richard Loncraine's "My One and Only," a '50s-era comedy starring Renee Zellweger and Kevin Bacon, was squeezed into the competition lineup for this year's Berlin International Film Festival, barely a week before the event kicks off.
