U.S. actor and director Sean Penn will premiere a documentary he filmed in Kyiv featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at next month's Berlin film festival, organizers said when they unveiled the full program on January 23. The Berlinale, as the February 16-26 event is known, will shine a spotlight on the Russian invasion of Ukraine as it passes its first anniversary. Penn's Superpower is billed as "the chronicle of a film project that reality forced to change into something less controllable but more meaningful." It will be the most prominent among several Ukraine-themed entries at the 73rd annual festival.
