Berlin, 30 January 2009 – In cooperation with zitty and C/O Berlin, Twinity will be featuring daily news from the Berlinale, as well as a selection of the best pictures from the red carpet in the virtual Sony Center from 5 to 15 February.

The Berlinale blog by zitty, Berlin’s city listings magazine, will keep the Twinity community in the picture about all the latest film news and events. Daily news and film tips, a wealth of insider information, and exclusive interviews with the stars of this year’s Berlinale will keep Twinity members up-to-date, and give them a sneak preview of the action as it unfolds at the film festival.

C|O Berlin – International Forum For Visual Dialogues provides a touch of glamour in the virtual Sony Center. In the ‘Close Up’ photography competition run by C|O Berlin, 18 talented, young photographers will be hunting down the most spectacular Berlinale photo on the real red carpets. Twinity members can catch the day’s best pictures in the C|O Berlin showroom in the virtual Sony Center. Twinity is also looking for the best Berlinale photo and the community is invited to get involved here. Everyone who votes for their favorite photo between 7 and 16 February has a chance to win a very special prize.

Another highlight of the Berlinale special are live streams from the panel discussions being held in the HomeBase Lounge. In the virtual HomeBase, Twinity members from all around the world can again participate in real, live Berlin events. All the star-studded panels of filmmakers in the ‘DigiDays’ and ‘Akademie Breaks’ event series will be broadcast live in Twinity.
