Avant garde, experimental works, essays, long-term observations, political reportage and yet-to-be-discovered cinematic landscapes: the International Forum of New Cinema, Forum in short, is the most daring section of the Berlinale. There are few formal limitations when it comes to the selection of films, resulting in even greater freedom. Documentaries and feature films are given equal consideration. The films in the Forum straddle the line between art and cinema. In 2006 Forum Expanded was launched. Presenting film, video, installation and performative works on varying themes and in multiple venues across Berlin, works in Forum Expanded provide a critical perspective and an expanded sense of cinematography.
The section’s origins lie in the International Forum of New Cinema, which was founded in the late 1960s. In that era of intense public political debate, the founders Ulrich and Erika Gregor together with the “Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek e.V.” (known today as “Arsenal - Institut für Film- und Videokunst e. V.”) wanted to transform the cinema into a place of cultural exchange – as a counterweight to the Berlinale. In 1970 the Berlinale underwent a change including the affiliation of the Forum. Since then, the Forum has become a permanent fixture of the Berlinale programme, which contributes significantly to the diverse profile of the festival. Right from the beginning, the Forum saw itself as a meeting place for constructive debate. The section organizes accompanying discussions and workshops and has published an exhaustive catalogue complete with background information and reviews the last years. After Ulrich and Erika Gregor headed the Forum for over 30 years, Christoph Terhechte assumed management of the section in 2001.
Eligible films for Forum are feature films and documentaries of at least 60 minutes running time which have not been released in Europe other than in their country of origin. The head of the Forum section reserves the right to settle any cases not covered by the regulations. Forum Expanded is curated by the Forum upon invitation only and does not receive submissions. The head of the Forum selects films in consensus with the selection committee. Films selected for the Forum are shown in their original version with English subtitles.
No official awards are presented in the Forum. In its early years, the section stood behind its conviction that it should keep some distance from the competitive character of the Competition. And yet independent juries do present the following awards in the Forum: Caligari Film Prize, Prize of the FIPRESCI Jury, Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Best First Feature Award, Glashütte Original Documentary Award, CICAE Art Cinema Award, Teddy Award, Peace Film Prize, Tagesspiegel Readers’ Jury Award.
'''Generation''': inaugurata nel 1978, la sezione dedicata a bambini e ragazzi è attualmente suddivisa in due sotto-sezioni riservate agli adolescenti (Generation 14plus) e ai più giovani (Generation Kplus). I film e i cortometraggi sono giudicati da apposite giurie e concorrono per l'Orso di cristallo, il Grand Prix e lo Special Prize.<ref name="berlinale.generation">{{Cita web|url=https://www.berlinale.de/en/das_festival/sektionen_sonderveranstaltungen/generation/index.html|titolo=Generation|editore=www.berlinale.de|accesso=4 maggio 2017}}</ref>
