In February, numerous cinemas host the prestigious Internationale Filmfestspiele, or Berlinale, a 10-day international festival at which the Golden Bear award is bestowed on the best films, directors, and actors. Individual tickets are first sold three days prior to a film's screening. Film buffs should purchase the season pass or accept shut-outs and third-choice films after hour-long waits at ticket outlets.
