Berlinale staff pose in front of placard showing Iranian director Jafar Panahi at the 61st Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin February 11, 2011. Iranian director Jafar Panahi was in the spotlight at the opening of the Berlin film festival on Thursday, with an empty chair at the jury press conference a reminder of the risks sometimes involved in making movies. In December 2010 he was sentenced to six years in prison and banned from making films or travelling abroad for 20 years. REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch (GERMANY - Tags: ENTERTAINMENT)
