Yes, you're a good observer, but it was in early March (I still have to finsih April and May ). They had a quite huge Huppert retro with a small "catalogue" (too bad I left it at my parents, otherwise I could name some more films - they didn't show the newly restored print of Heaven's Gate though). I think it has something to do with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin having some very active competent authorities on film who work closely with two important cinemas in town. They successfully organize retrospectives and "compilations" for some time now (the Jaqcues Doillon retro, with Doillon being present was also their work, as well as a series of french films from the 30s which I also attended). 
I only saw a handful of films from La Huppert, but it was an interesting experience to have her present at one of the screenings (I believe it was La dentelliere) as well as seeing Schroeter's most recent film (although i wasn't impressed). The funny thing is that a small part of this retro came to Nuremberg only this year (with the same catalogue ) where I saw Godard's impressive Sauve qui peut (La vie) (1979), and Pialat's extraordinary Loulou (1980). Don't know why it took them so long, as a friend told me that they had had the same Doillon retro shortly after Berlin last year, and in 2005 the whole Jean Eustache retrospective I was attending in Berlin, was shown in Nuremberg at the same time (!) - I even have both programs for April 2005 for both cinemas in both cities, and they were playing it all.

Currently they are having an almost complete Pasolini retro in Nuremberg (I'm going there today to see Mamma Roma (1962)), and I'm trying to get them to show some Slovenian films from the Yugoslav period in cooperation with our own cinema next year.
