Starting new threads in the main section?

[Gatterling]

I wanted to start a new thread in the German movie section to ask a question about a specific movie, but the site said I didn't have permission since I'm a newbie. How long do you have to be here/how many posts do you need before you're allowed to do this?

Or, does anyone know if there's a specific thread I could go to to ask questions about foreign movies? Most of them seem to be notices of sales and upcoming titles.
