Will The Berlin Film festival 2022 reconsider the in-person ceremony amid Omicron variant scare? Looks like the organisers are going ahead with their plans for this February’s in-person celebration. 

As cited in a report in Variety, the festival insiders described the group as “determined” to get people together despite the latest updates on the COVID front. However, they do reveal that there have been talks of pushing the date to June from its current scheduled dates in February.
