Berlin Film Fest Jury Ponders Who Should Get Top Honors

Saturday, 20 February 2016 11:16 AM EST

BERLIN (AP) — After more than a week of red-carpet screenings, the jury at the Berlin International Film Festival is set to announce the winner of its Golden Bear award for best movie and other honors.

Winners at the Berlinale, the first of the year's major European film festivals, are notoriously hard to predict. This year's jury, led by Meryl Streep, is choosing between 18 entries from across the globe.

They include "Genius," a literary drama starring Colin Firth and Jude Law; two documentaries, among them "Zero Days" from Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney; and an eight-hour historical drama from the Philippines, "A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery."

Entries come from the U.S., Britain, France, Tunisia, China, Denmark and Iran, among others.

Last year's Golden Bear went to Iranian dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi's "Taxi."
