André Cayatte
André Cayatte (3 February 1909, in Carcassonne – 6 February 1989, in Paris) was a French filmmaker, writer and lawyer, who became known for his films centering on themes of crime, justice, and moral responsibility. Cayatte began his directoral career at the German-controlled Continental Films during the French occupation. Some of Cayatte's earlier films that addressed his characteristic themes include ''Justice est faite'' (''Justice is Done''; 1950), ''Nous sommes tous des assassins'' (''We Are All Murderers''; 1952), and ''Le passage du Rhin'' ('' Tomorrow Is My Turn''; 1960). In 1963, he undertook a bold experiment in film narrative with a set of two films: ''Jean-Marc ou La vie conjugale'' (''Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Jean-Marc'') and ''Françoise ou La vie conjugale'' (''Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Françoise''). These two films tell the same story from two different points of view. His 1973 film, '' Il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu'', won the Silver Be ...

1st Berlin International Film Festival
The 1st annual Berlin International Film Festival was held from 6 to 17 June 1951 at the Titiana-Palast cinema. The opening film was Alfred Hitchcock's ''Rebecca''. At this very first Berlin Festival, the Golden Bear award was introduced, and it was awarded to the best film in each of five categories: drama, comedy, crime or adventure, music film, and documentary. This system disappeared already the following year because FIAPF (Federation Internationale des Associations des Producteurs de Films) stated that the awarding of prizes by an expert jury was reserved for "A-festivals" only. Instead, the next year's festival awards were voted on by the audience. Jury The following people from West Germany were announced as being on the jury for the festival: * Fritz Podehl, playwright and producer - Jury President * Johannes Betzel, cinema owner * Emil Dovifat, professor of political journalism * Werner Eisbrenner, composer and conductor * Günther Geisler, journalist and critic * ...
