Edward Berger | Visionaries | TIFF Industry Conference 2025

From the harrowing immediacy of All Quiet on the Western Front (TIFF22 World Premiere) to the tense, atmospheric drama of Conclave (TIFF24 International Premiere), filmmaker Edward Berger’s work combines meticulous craft with a deep humanism. His filmmaking has earned him five BAFTAs, an Academy Award, and a reputation for transforming complex source material into emotionally resonant, visually striking films. In this conversation at the TIFF50 Industry Conference, presented by Christie Digital, Berger reflected on the creative instincts that guide his work, the collaborative processes behind his most acclaimed projects, and the vision behind his newest film, Ballad of a Small Player (TIFF50 Canadian Premiere). #movie #filmfestival #filmindustry This session was supported by Media Partner The Hollywood Reporter.
