Via the European Jewish Press:

"The Israeli cinematographic industry has rarely come out on top in the official Competition Section but this year, Joseph Cedar changed all that by winning the Silver Bear for Best Director for his war-[sic] anti-war film Beaufort.

"The movie tells the story of Liraz Liberti, the 22-year-old commander of the south Lebanese Beaufort fortress, and his troops during the last few months prior to Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, in 2000, after 18 years of occupation.

"’The film is the story of any battle in any war. It’s about young people who are asked to give their lives for a mountain that will soon lose its significance. And it’s about fear - contagious, intoxicating, palpable fear, a word Liraz Liberti never allowed himself to utter,’ Cedar said at a press conference prior to first public screening of the film."

Oliver Bradley’s article is titled "Son of Holocaust survivor wins best actor award in Berlin." That’s Argentinean actor Julio Chávez, who stars in Ariel Rotter’s El Otro / The Other, winner of the jury’s Grand Prix.
