It is held in Berlin, Germany. Founded in West Berlin in 1951 at the initiative of U. S. Film officer Oscar Martay, the festival has been celebrated annually in February since 1978.

Up to 400 films are shown in several sections, representing a comprehensive array of the cinematic world. Around twenty films compete for the awards. Since 2001 the director of the festival has been Dieter Kosslick.

Festival programme The festival is composed of seven different film sections. Films are chosen in each category by a section director with the advice of a committee of film experts. Categories include: Competition Panorama Forum Generation Perspektive Deutsches Kino Berlinale Shorts Retrospective
Categories Competition – comprises feature-length films yet to be released outside their country of origin. Films in the Competition section compete for several prizes, including the top Golden Bear for the best film and a series of Silver Bears for acting, writing and production. Panorama – comprises new independent and arthouse films that deal with "controversial subjects or unconventional aesthetic styles". Films in the category are intended to provoke discussion, and have historically involved themes such as gay, lesbian and transgendered issues. Forum – comprises experimental and documentary films from around the world with a particular emphasis on screening works by younger filmmakers. There are no format or genre restrictions, and films in the Forum do not compete for awards. Generation – comprises a mixture of short and feature-length films aimed at children and youths. Films in the Generation section compete in two subcategories: Generation Kplus (aimed at those aged four and above) and Generation 14 plus (aimed at those aged fourteen and above). Awards in the section are determined by three separate juries – the Children's Jury, the Youth Jury and an international jury of experts – whose decisions are made independent of one another.
Categories Perspektive Deutsches Kino – comprises a wide variety of German films, with an emphasis on highlighting current trends in German cinema. There are few entry requirements, enabling emerging filmmakers to display their work to domestic and international audiences. Berlinale Shorts – comprises domestic and international short films, especially those that demonstrate innovative approaches to filmmaking. Films in the category compete for the Golden Bear for the best short film, as well as a jurynominated Silver Bear. Retrospective – comprises classic films previously shown at the Berlinale, with films collated from the Competition, Forum, Panorama and Generation categories. Each year, the Retrospective section is dedicated to important themes or filmmakers. The special Homage series similarly examines past cinema, with a focus on honouring the life work of directors and actors. In addition to the seven sections, the Berlinale also contains several linked "curated special series", including the Berlinale Special, Gala Special, Forum Expanded, Culinary Cinema and the Homage. Since 2002 a 50 -second trailer opens the performances in all sections of the festival with the exception of the Retrospective.

This key work of German silent film is famous for its extraordinary style that was influenced by expressionism and romanticism.
