BERLIN (AP) - Madonna's debut movie as a director will have its world premiere at the annual Berlin film festival in February.

''Filth and Wisdom,'' starring Eugene Hutz, Richard E. Grant and Stephen Graham, will screen in the Panorama section, outside the main competition, a festival statement said Thursday.

Organizers didn't specify whether the 49-year-old singer will come to Berlin to present the movie.

The event, which runs from Feb. 7-17, is the first of the year's major European film festivals.
