Revealed at the Pitch Event on Oct 31: your film has to be set in Berlin. No matter what kind of movie you are making, the world has to be Berlin. It does not have to be present-day Berlin, it can also be in the past or in the future. This and the other modifiers, revealed at kick-off on Fri 13 Nov, are mandatory for the challenge movies.
