MADONNA DIRECTOR'S DEBUT AT BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL

Madonna makes director's debut at Berlin film festival. Critics had already begun sharpening their pencils at the prospect of "Filth and Wisdom" which revolves around a Ukrainian immigrant who finances his dreams of rock stardom by moonlighting as a cross-dressing dominatrix, and his two female flatmates. The movie was shown at the Panarama section at the 58th Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin. The festival runs from February 7-17, 2008.

"I have always been inspired by the films of Godard, Visconti, Pasolini and Fellini and hope that I may one day make something that comes close to their genius," The movie was filmed on location in London, England from May 14, 2007 to May 29, 2007.
