The organizers of the Berlin International Film Festival, February 10 - 20, 2005, have announced the first films in the lineup of the Panorama, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

According to the festival's press release, the organizers of Panorama 2005 sought to address the following questions: "What preoccupies contemporary filmmakers? What stories motivate them? Which life scripts do they pursue and which filmic forms do they use to tell them?"

The initial selection includes Kevin Spacey's Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea, Ira Sach's Sundance-bound Forty Shades of Blue, and Sally Potter's latest film, Yes (pictured right), Childstar by Canadian director Don McKellar, and Bruce McDonald's The Love Crimes of Gillian Guess.
