Elsa Keslassy International CorrespondentThe Berlin Film Festival, whose scaled-down edition kicked off on Thursday evening with strict COVID measures, has recorded only eight positive cases among the film teams, the festival spokesperson confirmed to Variety.
Unlike at Cannes or Venice, the Berlinale is requiring guests to take a daily test, even if they’re vaccinated three times, in order to access screenings, as well as select events and venues.
Testing stations can be found in buses around the festival’s main theater and inside hotels with results back in roughly 20 minutes. “The Berlinale’s test buses, available for both accredited and audience, did approximately 2,700 tests and had only 54 positive tests,” said the festival’s spokesperson. “In order to stop possible chains of infections, we are evaluating every case and situation thoroughly, tracking all contacts and identifying possible risk situations.
