Berlinale 2007 CompetitionFrançois Ozon's latest film, the English-language Angel, the US-produced CGI-environment historical epic 300 from Zack Snyder and the new David Mackenzie film Hallam Foe have joined the Official Selection of the upcoming Berlinale. All three titles are book adaptations and the two Europeans showcase two young British actors in leading roles: Romola Garai stars in Ozon's film and Jamie "Billy Elliot" Bell stars in Hallam Foe. The two are also part of the Official Competition, with 300 being shown Out of Competition. The festival will open on February 8 with the previously announced Edith Piaf biopic La môme (La vie en rose) from director Olivier Dahan. Ozon's Angel will close the festival ten days later.

Further newly added titles include Beaufort by Israeli director Joseph Cedar; El otro (The Other), an Argentinian-French-German co-production from Ariel Rotter; Hyazgar (Desert Dream) from Korean director Zhang Lu; Notes On A Scandal from UK director Richard Eyre (Out of Competition); O ano em que meus pais saíram de férias (The Year My Parents Went On Vacation) by Cao Hamburger from Brazil and Argentina; Ping guo (Lost In Beijing) by Li Yu from China; Tu ya de hun shi (Tuya's Marriage) from Wang Quan'an, also from China and the Canada-US co-production When A Man Falls In The Forest from Ryan Eslinger. 

A total of 26 films are part of the Official Selection, with several films screening Out of Competition, including the previously announced Letters from Iwo Jima from veteran Clint Eastwood and Jury President Paul Schrader's latest The Walker. The festival will be covered live by european-films.net, with reviews, red carpet photos and interviews posted around the clock.
