The section's main programme will open on February 5 with Danish actress-director Rie Rasmussen's debut feature Human Zoo while the Panorama Special strand will kick off with another debut, North (Nord) by Norway's Rune Denstad Langlo.

The final raft of titles to be confirmed include world premieres of new films from German directors Andreas Struck (Sleeping Songs), Jochen Hick (The Good American) and Marco Wilms (Comrade Couture), Russia's Pavel Bardin (Russia 88) and Hong Kong's Simon Chung (End Of Love)

In addition, Korean-born Sung-Hyung Cho brings her new documentary Home From Home to Berlin. The film looks at ex-pat Koreans returning to Korea after 30 years of living and working in Germany to spend their retirement in a purpose-built 'German village'.

In addition to celebrating 30 years of programming, the Panorama is also marking 10 years of the Panorama Audience Award by re-screening all of the winning films from the past decade - from Spanish filmmaker Benito Zambrano's Alone in 1998 to Eran Riklis's Lemon Tree in 2008.
