In the 39th jury session of the Berlinale World Cinema Fund<\/em> (WCF<\/em>), the juries have made 14 funding recommendations to projects and films from Argentina, Chile, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Mozambique, Nigeria, the Republic of Belarus, Rwanda, Senegal and Thailand.

\"We are looking at the results of the last WCF<\/em>-The jury meeting and marvel at the strength, courage and incredible creativity of these future films. Most of the films supported WCF<\/em>-projects deal intensively with the multifaceted complexity of our world. Cinematic views of a world that is not easy to decipher, often with characters who may live very far away from us and yet are very familiar to us. This is cinema as empathy and empathy as a cross-border attitude to life. We are delighted to be able to support these projects,\" says WCF<\/em>-Manager Vincenzo Bugno.<\/p>
