]]>Small Things Like These is set over Christmas in 1985 in a small Irish town, and it follows a devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Murphy). He’s forced to face the shocking truths about himself and other residents after discovering startling secrets kept by the convent in his town.
This poignant drama has been inspired by Claire Keegan’s book of the same name, with Enda Walsh adapting it to the big screen. Tim Mielants directed Small Things Like These, which also stars Ciarán Hinds, Emily Watson, and Clare Dunne in supporting roles.
Berlinale’s artistic director Carlo Chatrian confirmed Small Things Like These as the opening film, and said it “tells the story of a man of few words, with wide open eyes, as clear as the skies of Ireland.”
The 74th Berlin International Film Festival is scheduled to take place from February 15-25, with Lupita Nyong’o serving as the jury president. Rose Glass’ Love Lies Bleeding, Johan Renck’s Spaceman, and Atom Egoyan’s Seven Veils are some of the films set to premiere in Berlin.

“Lupita Nyong’o embodies what we like in cinema: versatility in embracing different projects, addressing different audiences, and consistency to one idea that is quite recognizable in her characters, as diverse as they may look,” said the duo in a statement.
Nyong’o said she’s deeply honored to serve as the president of the international jury of the Berlin Film Festival, and added she’s looking forward to celebrating and recognizing the outstanding work of filmmakers from around the world.
The Oscar-winning star of 12 Years a Slave has several promising projects on the way, including the horror sequel A Quiet Place: Day One and the adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah.
The 2024 Berlin Film Festival will take place from February 15–25, 2024, and the rest of the jury members are yet to be announced.
