The 61st Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) took place from February 10 to 20, 2011. The main prize of the festival, the Golden Bear , was awarded to the Iranian contribution Jodaeiye Nader az Simin from Asghar Farhadi .

The Berlinale opened with the American Western True Grit by the Coen brothers , which was shown out of competition. The film is a remake of the 1969 John Wayne film The Marshal. 385 films from 58 countries were shown in 969 screenings within eleven days. 99 productions came from Germany or were made with German participation. The funding for the festival in 2011 is 19.5 million euros. 6.5 million euros of this come from federal funds. The sales quota for cinema tickets was 300,000, while 20,000 accreditations were issued to trade visitors.

The Italian-American actress Isabella Rossellini was selected as the president of the international jury . The Iranian director Jafar Panahi was invited to join the jury . After Panahi was sentenced in December 2010 by the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran to a six-year prison term and a 20-year professional ban, Berlinale director Dieter Kosslick announced his support for Panahi. His films are shown in several sections of the film festival. In addition, the Berlinale Talent Campus and World Cinema Fund are planning a panel event with Iranian filmmakers on censorship and the restriction of artistic freedom in Iran.

The Honorary Golden Bear of the Berlinale 2011 was awarded to the 80-year-old German actor Armin Mueller-Stahl . The retrospective is reminiscent of the Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman .
