He shaped the Berlinale like no other and made it the largest public festival in the world. Dieter Kosslick (73) was festival director for almost two decades. Now he is a guest of the BZ podcast “Jute people”.
He tells moderator Florian Zschiedrich why he has the same hat maker as the pope, why he was too poor for the father of his first girlfriend, how the stars are brought to Berlin and which films were his favorite films at the Berlinale.
He hasn’t been head of the Berlinale since 2019, but is still the festival director of the hearts. You can find out what he wishes for his successors Mariette Rissenbeek and Carlo Chatrian in the new “Jute people” podcast.
You can hear it wherever there are podcasts. Next guest is actress Brigitte Grothum.
