Berlin Film Festival: Stars Like Timothée Chalamet to Draw Global Attention

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were filmed together on Valentine’s Day at the Berlin International Film Festival, sparking a flurry of attention at an event that, despite the star power, is experiencing a sluggish market, according to industry observers.

The pair were seen spending the day together, with footage of their time at the Berlinale circulating online, as reported by ELLE. Chalamet is in Berlin promoting his new film, “Wonka,” which premiered at the festival. The appearance of Jenner alongside him has significantly amplified the event’s visibility, drawing considerable media coverage.

Chalamet’s presence at the festival has been a major draw, bringing a high level of celebrity attention. Though, Variety reports that the film market itself remains subdued. While Chalamet’s star power is undeniable, it hasn’t translated into a significant boost in film sales during the festival, suggesting broader economic challenges within the industry.

This year’s Berlinale marks a return for Chalamet, who first attended the festival as a relatively unknown actor. The Hollywood Reporter recalled his earlier appearance, highlighting the contrast between his status then and his current position as a major Hollywood star. His evolution from an emerging talent to a globally recognized figure underscores the festival’s role in launching and showcasing promising actors.

Adding to the visual spectacle, Chalamet embraced a monochromatic pink ensemble for Valentine’s Day, as noted by WWD. The fashion choice further fueled social media buzz surrounding his appearance at the festival and his time with Jenner.

As of February 15, 2026, neither Chalamet nor Jenner have publicly commented on the nature of their relationship. The Berlinale continues, with industry professionals closely watching for any shifts in the film market.
