I had some problems finding you, and I arrived to the theater one hour too early, but decided to wait anyway, by spending the time in a nice nearby coffee shop. I was going to leave the Berlinale the same day. So this film was the last I saw. I will never forget this touching movie, with so much wittiness, humour, nostalgia, tenderness, and profesionality. What a great movie!!! And what a great artist you are, I really enjoyed the connection between the old and the new world, which shows that in our hearts we all become the same, no matter what time we are living. You really put life inot perspective. Congratulations, Nina! You must be one of the greatest animators in the world. I certainly hope you will win a lot of prices for this in the years to come.

There is only a walking distance of 15 minutes from Potsdamer Platz or 2 stops by S-Bahn (fast train). So if you like: feel welcome, Gabi I do not see another way of contacting you, I I chose this one. hi Nina,

The problem is that the US dollar is so weak right now, and the German VAT is so high: 14760 Euros + 19% VAT = 17564 17564 Euros converted to $US = 25,971.80 So it's still about $26,000, plus the expense of going there to check the work, and loss of work time in NY. Alas. The good thing about the dollar being so weak is, it's like we have a Third World Country right here at home! I'm hoping I can get the lab here to dip below $26,000. Doing it in Germany is a nice idea, and last year, when the $US wasn't toilet paper, it would have been a bargain! Thanks Thomas.

For this you need a DOLBY certified sound lab.
