February 10- 20, 2005International Film Festival, Berlin
The Marshall Plan Film Series
 Launched in 2004, this special series of screenings runs over three years. It presents films which were made as part of the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan series is a reminder of the festival's origins. The founding of the film festival itself is, to a large degree, due to an initiative by the American Officer for Film Oscar Martay. The international film festival in Berlin was supposed to be a "showcase of the free world" and was meant to overcome the city's isolation.
At the 2005 Berlinale the selection will be entitled "Winning the Peace". The programme will be expanded in a number of points, the main angle being to re-position this unconventional genre in cinematic history. Therefore, in addition to the actual Marshall films, a selection of so-called "reorientation" films will be shown. These have a similar style to the Marshall films, but were made at an even earlier stage of the American effort to re-build Europe. more
