BERLIN : The Berlin Film Festival will go ahead in person next month but will use only half the available seating capacity and require attendees to adhere to strict COVID-19 protocols, organisers said on Wednesday.

The Berlinale starts on Feb. 10, culminating in an awards ceremony on Feb. 16 where the Golden and Silver Bears will be handed out, meaning the festival will be slightly shorter than planned, organisers said in a statement. It normally runs for 10 about days. To allow social distancing, seating capacity in festival cinemas will be reduced by 50per cent and no parties or public events will be held, although there will be a pared back version of the red carpet at premiere cinemas, said the organisers.

"We want the festival to send a signal to the entire film industry, to cinemas and moviegoers, and to culture as a whole. We need cinema, we need culture," said Claudia Roth, German minister for culture and media.
