Based in Berlin, he works as a journalist and film critic focusing on culture and social issues. He is editor-in-chief of the international online magazine <em>j:mag<\/em> and has long served as a juror at international film festivals in Europe and Asia. Malik Berkati is a member of FIPRESCI (the International Federation of Film Critics) as well as other professional organisations (the European Film Academy and the German Film Critics Association).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IFF AF 25 | Malik Berkati (\u010dlen poroty FIPRESCI)\" width=\"1220\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UP3MabhX0j0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome, Malik, to IFF Art Film. Is this your first visit to Slovakia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>No, I visited Slovakia back in the days of Czechoslovakia \u2014 Bratislava and Brno. But this is my first time in Ko\u0161ice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you perceive the atmosphere of the festival?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s fantastic. Very warm, relaxed \u2014 I like it a lot.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re on the FIPRESCI jury here. Could you explain to viewers what FIPRESCI stands for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>FIPRESCI is the federation of all the world\u2019s film critics. We have members from every continent; it\u2019s an association of national film-critic organisations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does one become a member?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>First, you have to belong to your national journalists\u2019 association \u2014 in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, wherever \u2014 and that association is then part of the FIPRESCI federation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re working here with colleagues and have already seen several films. How do you find cooperation within the jury?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s great to be on a jury made up of film critics, because we share a similar professional outlook. We don\u2019t always agree on the films, but we share the same expert perspective.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>When you watch a film, what do you focus on? What matters to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Everything matters \u2014 how the film is shot, the script, the acting, and technical aspects like light and sound. For us critics it\u2019s holistic, never just one aspect.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Today we have many streaming platforms and even AI-generated reviews. Does that affect your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Definitely. As for streaming, I feel \u2014 and I\u2019m not alone \u2014 that critics\u2019 job is to remind people why it\u2019s important to go to the cinema and see a film on the big screen: for the music, the emotions, the big-screen experience. And regarding AI: yes, AI can write a review, but it won\u2019t be the same as what I write as a human, because I have emotions. Criticism isn\u2019t a science; it\u2019s also about passion. AI can imitate that, but it will never come from the heart.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>I completely agree. Emotions are vital to film; when they\u2019re missing, so is a good film.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Exactly. If a film doesn\u2019t stir emotion in you, it may be technically fine, but art has to contain emotion. One more thing: AI lacks context. We have context \u2014 we can place a film in its social, political or cultural framework; AI can only do that partially, and it doesn\u2019t feel reality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What key criteria will you use when judging films here at IFF Art Film? Have you discussed that with your colleagues?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>We have no fixed criteria. We go into each film openly and let it speak to us. You can\u2019t say in advance what will be decisive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>And has anything about the audience or Ko\u0161ice surprised you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Yes \u2014 yesterday I was surprised by how strongly the audience responded to a film. People laughed, reacted, lived with the film. It was beautiful to see.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite film?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>In general? It changes every day \u2014 it\u2019s about emotion. Sometimes I recall a childhood favourite. But if I have to name one, perhaps Wings of Desire (1987) by Wim Wenders. Tomorrow it might be a different one.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could change the ending of a famous film, would you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>No. Even if the ending is bad, it\u2019s the director\u2019s responsibility. It\u2019s not my story; I wouldn\u2019t interfere.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your first strong film memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>When I was little and went to the cinema with my father for the first time without my mother and sister, and we saw Star Wars. It wasn\u2019t the first film I ever saw, but I remember it to this day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you decide to become a film critic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m not sure I decided \u2014 it just happened. In high school and university I was passionate about movies; I even skipped classes to go to 2 p.m. screenings where I was the only viewer. I studied political science, became a journalist and realised film was my passion. And it\u2019s good to have another background, not just film studies, so you can explore the whole world of cinema.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you think the world of film and cinemas has changed in the years you\u2019ve worked in the field?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I have to say I don\u2019t watch films on platforms; I\u2019m against it. Occasionally at festivals I see films made for platforms, but they\u2019re often just formatted, or they try to pose as cinema art to prove their quality \u2014 to me it\u2019s fake. And I see people returning to theatres; they want films on the big screen, they want to share emotions and impressions with others. I\u2019m not sure streaming platforms are the future \u2014 maybe not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Festivals often screen older films. Here in Ko\u0161ice we have classic Slovak films as well as <em>The Texas Chain Saw Massacre<\/em>. Do you think it\u2019s important to show these films to younger audiences on the big screen?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Absolutely. Classic films were made for the big screen. If they\u2019re in good condition or well restored, it\u2019s vital to see them in a cinema.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>The 31st IFF ART FILM is made possible thanks to the support of:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Organizer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ART FILM FEST s.r.o.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Co-organizers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mesto Ko\u0161ice \u00b7 K13 \u2013 Ko\u0161ick\u00e9 kult\u00farne centr\u00e1 \u00b7 Visit Ko\u0161ice \u00b7 ART FILM FEST, n.o. \u00b7 LGM, s.r.o. \u00b7 FORLIVE<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Financial support:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Audiovizu\u00e1lny fond \u00b7 Nad\u00e1cia SPP<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Co-financed by:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ko\u0161ick\u00fd samospr\u00e1vny kraj through the Terra Incognita programme<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Main Partners<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: n\u00e1rodn\u00e1 lot\u00e9riov\u00e1 spolo\u010dnos\u0165 TIPOS \u00b7 Slovensk\u00e1 elektriza\u010dn\u00e1 prenosov\u00e1 s\u00fastava, a.s. \u00b7 CODES Brand House<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Main Media Partners: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TV JOJ \u00b7 Pravda \u00b7 Eurotelev\u00edzia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Automotive Partner: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moris Slovakia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advertising Partners: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Press \u00b7 U.
