Ralph Fiennes's 'Coriolanus' to premiere in Berlin

British actor Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut Coriolanus will have its world premiere at next year's Berlin film festival, where it will play outside the main competition line-up.

The Shakespeare adaptation was filmed in Belgrade earlier this year and features Fiennes, nominated for Academy Awards for his roles in the The English Patient and Schindler's List, in the title role.

Also unveiled on Wednesday were competition entries Our Grand Despair from Turkey, Lipstikka from Israel, If Not Us, Who? and The Future from Germany and US picture Yelling to the Sky.


Wim Wenders will be involved with his movie Pina, billed as a dance film in 3D, which is not in competition.

As previously announced, the annual cinema showcase which runs from February 10-20 next year opens with the Coen brothers' latest movie True Grit, also out of competition.
