BERLIN
Imagine this one... U.S. directors and guests arrive at the heavily fortified U.S. embassy in Berlin for a reception in honor of American filmmakers at the Berlinale (yeah right! As if...) Well, our dear neighbors to the north did just that for their directors at the Canadian embassy just off Potsdamer Platz on Saturday night. Some of the filmmakers in attendance included Bruce LaBruce ("Otto; Or Up with Dead People"), Guy Maddin ("My Winnipeg"), Claudia Morgado ("No Bikini"), "My Winnipeg" producer Jody Shapiro, Telefilm Canada's Brigitte Hubmann, director Yves Christian Fournier ("Everything is Fine") and Gisele Gordon ("Miss Chief Trilogy").
