the stars of international films are in berlin. for the annual festival there. phil lavell take as look at what is the center of the cinema world. >> forget hollywood, who needs bolllywood, they give us the big movies but it is the festivals that give many movie makers their exposure. events which is now underway, 64 years old, this year, 64 years strong. there are hundreding of film festivals held all over the world every year. everybody it seems wants in. but when it comes to the larger international festivals that number is nearer to 100, and nearly half of those are held here. in europe, the question is, what has this part of the world got to offer the international movie making industry? >> if anybody knows lit be mr. bell nardi himself. peter runs the show here, he has been for years heavies that's the point. europe has posted film festivals for so long, it is automatically now a movie makers top destination. >> i don't think it's a new attraction, it is a very old attraction, and people like to go to film festival to celebrate the art of the films. so we

here he is back in berlin. we heard german leaders saying that they believe this country does need to take a more assertive foreign-policy stance. so that should at least be good news to the ears of vitali klitschko. >> melinda, do you think this could be a test case in germany's more assertive foreign-policy stance? >> it is looking that way. it looks very much like germany defines that stance with regard to ukraine as playing a mediating role both with the ukrainian government, but also with russia, which he know has been a strong supporter of the ukrainian government. and in fact ties to russia very much at the heart of the controversy in ukraine. the foreign minister has very good relations with russia. he is beauty as a friend of russia. he has -- he is viewed as a friend of russia. however, he made a visit to moscow where mr. putin kept him waiting for a number of hours, did not promise to meet with him at all initially. it may be difficult to get that new and bolts going with regard to russia. >> melinda
