The Berlin Film Festival is abuzz with stories capturing the imagination. Charli xcx continues to captivate audiences with her new mockumentary 'The Moment,' closing the chapter on her 'brat summer' album in typical avant-garde style.

Director Karim Ainouz presents 'Rosebush Pruning,' a drama probing the patriarchal trauma of a wealthy family, while Finn's Hanna Bergholm, with horror film 'Nightborn,' challenges the taboos surrounding parenthood.

The festival also sees unexpected charm in Bella Ramsey's comedy 'Sunny Dancer,' Michael Kors's chic fashion show, and a debate sparked by Arundhati Roy's festival pullout over political films. Gore Verbinski warns of AI perils with humor in 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.'
