On Sunday night, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and president, Christian Wulff, turned up at the Berlin film festival to watch the premiere of Wim Wenders's Pina, a 3D documentary about the German choreographer, who died in 2009. Now, as a thought experiment, imagine a British equivalent to this film. It might be, say, a documentary about Complicite directed by Mike Leigh, or Ken Loach filming the life and work of Michael Clark. Neither of these movies will ever be made, but bear with me.
