It's nice when 400 viewers at Toronto's Royal Cinema love a film so much that they vote to make it the EUFFTO's most popular. It's as nice when the well-known Hamburg director is happy to accept that audience award for his film HEAD FULL OF HONEY, programmed and presented by the Goethe-Institut as a Toronto premiere, and sends a little thank-you note -- while shooting his next film and preparing for HEAD FULL OF HONEY's remake with Michael Douglas:

German films in production
The Berlinale 2013 is over, the circus is moving on (Cannes, Venice, then TIFF). Until then, here’s what I am keeping an eye on in production:For starters, 3x Wenders: About to launch, his portrait of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgad called SHADE AND LIGHT. Announced for next year, CATHEDRALS OF CULTURE, a documentary TV series in 3D and 2D about the soul of buildings, by a team of six award-winning filmmakers including Wim Wenders and produced by his Neue Road Movies. “If buildings could talk, what would they tell about us?” is the guiding question that clearly harks back to Wenders’ 3D video installation for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2010 of the same name.
And of course, in Canada, we are eagerly awaiting news on Wim’s next (3D) feature EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE with Sarah Polley, still in pre-production.
