Voting for Strangers

The voting award at Berlin: six filmmakers you’ve never heard of, and you pick which one matters. Döndü Kilic, Jan Krüger, Claudia Lehmann, Myrna Makkaron, Meggie Schneider, Jan Soldat. I don’t know their work - just names and titles - but that’s the whole thing. You’re voting for people before they’re people. And one day one of them is the name everyone knows.
