Anyone who attends the Berlin Film Festival and hopes to escape the fierce attack of Donald Trump is unlucky. The great orange may not die on the Berlin red carpet (unless they invite him, of course), but Trump is still everywhere in Berlin.

On screen, the director filmed the 47th President of the United States and its policies Mickey 17 Features a crazy follower of a conceited artificial politician wearing a bright red, Margoga-style ball cap; Michel Franco dreamAbout a Mexican ballet dancer who crossed the border with his wealthy American girlfriend is a direct prosecution of Trump's immigration laws - among executives here, Trump's topic and its impact on the international film industry are not Possibly avoided.

Production and sales companies are worried that Trump will target the film industry like other industries with its tariffs and trade restrictions. The possible goal may be to choose American works taken abroad. As the cost of filming in the United States soars, such out-of-control production has become commonplace.

"Everyone is just asking each other: Will shooting in Mexico or Canada be OK? There is no way to know," said Josh Rosenbaum Waypoint Entertainment, a production and financing group that supports films Long legs,,,,, Mid-90s and Favorite. "Frankly, it's confusion. There are no rules. Obviously, you have these orders (from Trump), but no one knows what that will mean."

Several aspects of the international film industry may arouse Trump's anger. The generous tax credits offered by many countries attract tax credits for American films and series shoots, which could complicate the problem of out-of-control production. Many countries have also vigorously subsidized their own films and series, which Trump may point to “unfair competition” and target restrictions or tariffs.

The U.S. industry has long been pushing for similar local tax breaks to cope with the appeal of shooting abroad. Prior to last year's election, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed double the state's movie and television production tax benefits to $750 million a year in order to lose lost jobs to out-of-state and Foreign works. However, after the destruction of the Los Angeles fire, the state government focused more on rebuilding cities than subsidized Hollywood. At the federal level, the push for tax relief or production incentives, but under the Trump administration, it seems unlikely that Washington will be able to take seriously the policies of New York and California’s deep blue states.

In the area Trump began calling the 51st state, the Toronto Film Festival was already developing plans for resistance. TIFF will launch its official content market next year and has appointed the first members of the advisory committee, including independent industries such as CAA's Roeg Sutherland, Goodfellas, Goodfellas CEO Vincent Maraval, Elevation Pictures Co-Chair Noah Segal and Rhombus Media Induser Niv Heavyweight Niv Fickman.

She noted that in the upcoming “political and economic turmoil”, “deepening and strengthening our international ties” is important for major Canadian film events.

A more pressing focus is the company's censorship system, especially self-checking issues after Maga-Wave.

“We have seen this surrender, like all the DEI programs that just fell like a domino, and the thoughts of companies, companies and people: ‘I will passively start (and then) start thinking about a long game, Director Todd Haynes, the president of Berlin jury this year, told Hollywood Reporter When asked about the Trump administration. "But I think what we've learned in history is that once you start surrendering, they won't reward your submission. This kind of person is never satisfied."

Submission may also take the form of avoiding the film or themes that may arouse Trump and his minions. Here, Ali Abassi's experience of Trump's biopic apprentice It can prove that an enlightening person. The feature premiered last year at the Cannes Film Festival and had eight minutes of praise and has become an award breakout, earning Sebastian Stan two Oscar nominations as Trump and Trump Pu and Jeremy Strong's future president in the 1980s political dark art. But opposition from the Trump camp almost killed the film’s chance in the United States. Just like apprentice The main financier of the film, Kinematics, was founded by producer Mark Rapapott (billionaire son-in-law) and famous Trump donor Dan Snyder, the film's main financial institution, said Abbasi once Perspectives on the future president.
