This year’s Generation sidebar at the Berlin Film Festival includes films that shed light on and challenge the nature of contradictions, say organizers. The massive section, which is made up of films targeted to children and young people, runs to 63 features and shorts produced or co-produced in 35 countries. Among the features competing for the Crystal Bear 
is U.S. helmer Ira Sachs’ Little Men which will world premiere this month in Sundance. Here, the Love Is Strange director reteams with Alfred Molina; Jennifer Ehle and Greg Kinnear also star. Norwegian claymation family film Louis & Nolan – The Big Cheeserace is also in the lineup. Already a hit at home, director Rasmus Sivertsen’s sequel has sold 370K tickets since December 25. The previous film, The Christmas Of Louis And Nolan, was Norway’s top grossing movie of 2013 with nearly 850K admissions and about $12M in box office. The full list of Generation features is below. Berlin runs from February 11-21.
