Originally titled “Men No Good,” it’s a film about no good men who are just no good.

So you can bet everybody who’s anybody will want to see it at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, which is also no good, but at least run by women.

Berlin Film Festival 2026: Opening Gala, ‘No Good Men’ Premiere & Red Carpet Gallery – The 76th Berlin International Film Festival rolled out the red carpet today for the opening film and the world premiere of No Good Men by award-winning Afghan director Sharbanoo Sadat, starring Shahrbanoo Sadat, Anwar Hashimi, Liam Hussaini, Yasin Negah, and Torkan Omari at the Berlinale Palast.

The Berlinale launched with a festive opening ceremony led by Festival Director Tricia Tuttle and Jury President Wim Wenders. The evening featured the introduction of the International Jury and the presentation of the Honorary Golden Bear to Michele Yeoh, with Sean Baker delivering the tribute.

The Berlin International Film Festival will sign the 50/50 by 2020 gender parity pledge,

Gender

So, like, let me get this straight. You are ASSuming that there are only TWO genders or what, Herr Dieter Kosslick with the dopey hat? You’re going to get letters, pal. Some might have explosives in them, too.

At first I thought they meant 50/50 with regard to the quality of the films they show here at the Berlinale. You know, 50 percent crappy and the other 50 percent really crappy? But I was way off, as usual.

The 50/50 by 2020 pledge does not mandate gender quotas, but calls for festivals to strive for gender parity in top management and for them to publish figures on the gender of the directors of films submitted every year.
