Irish singer CMAT has become the latest star to hit out at Berlin Film Festival jury president Wim Wenders’ suggestion that cinema should “stay out of politics”, with the Brit nominee saying to do so would be “cowardice”.
It comes just weeks after German filmmaker Wenders said that cinema should “do the work of people, not the work of politicians” when asked for the jury’s views on the German government’s “support of the genocide in Gaza” and the festival’s “selective treatment of human rights” issues.
