Berlin results

[Aaron Gerow]

With no Japanese films in the competition, there was not much attention 
being paid to the results of this year's Berlin Film Festival, but it 
turns out one film did win a minor award. Yoshino?s Barber Shop by 
Naoko Ogigami earned a Special Mention from the jury of the 
Kinderfilmfest.

The jury said of the film:

The simple story of a few kids who upset a long-standing tradition in a 
small village. Without weapons or nasty screaming ? but with 
imagination and humour.
