German filmmaker Wim Wenders will head the competition jury for the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2026.
His films include Paris, Texas, Wings Of Desire, Until The End Of The World, Faraway, So Close! and Buena Vista Social Club.
Wenders said: “It never hit me to even remotely think about being jury president in my hometown until Tricia Tuttle asked me. And then I realised: Wow! That’ll be a whole new way to see films at the Berlinale, for once watch each and every one in the Competition and discuss them all in-depth with a group of intelligent and movie-loving people. How good can it get? I’m grateful to Tricia [Tuttle] to invite me to this rare experience.”
The festival runs February 12-22.
