The 76th Berlin International Film Festival held its awards ceremony on February 21, notifying audiences in Japan about the outcomes in the early hours of February 22. Among the nominees, the film 'Yellow Letters,' directed by Ilker Çatak, was awarded the Golden Bear, which is the festival's highest honor in the feature competition category. The film tells a poignant story of a Turkish artist couple who lose their jobs due to political reasons, reflecting on themes of artistic freedom and resilience in the face of adversity.

In contrast, Four Seasons of Yoshitoshi's animation 'On the Day When the Green Blue Awakens' did not receive any accolades despite its participation in the festival. The event also highlighted the recognition of other significant works, including 'Child' by Yusuke Iwasaki, which was awarded an international critics' award, showcasing the diverse talents and voices presented at the festival.

Awards across various categories included the Jury Prize for ‘Salvation’ directed by Emin Alper, the Jury Award for 'Queen at Sea' by Lance Hammer, and additional awards recognizing talent in acting and writing. The festival not only offers a platform for competitive films but also serves to encourage discussions on important social and political issues through cinema, making it a key event in the global film industry.
