Roth wants to address criticism of Israel at the Berlinale finale. Roth: "Appearing like this at an international film festival doesn’t help anyone, certainly not the civilian population in Gaza.” The Hamas terrorist attack and the suffering of the hostages were only addressed clearly by festival director Mariette Rissenbeek, says Roth.
Roth says he is in talks with the future director Tricia Tuttle, who will take office in April. “Together with her, we will draw the necessary conclusions from the processing of this Berlinale,” said Roth.
