Trigger warning

"This year, for the first time, we will provide trigger warnings for all programs screened at the interfilm Berlin and KUKI Festivals. These are listed in the catalogue and online under the program description (not for individual films).Please note that these are explicitly not censorship or content warnings (e.g., ""nudity"" or ""blood""), but trigger warnings to prevent someone from being inadvertently exposed to past trauma.

The curators of each program have thought of the most commonly recognized trigger warnings to the best of their ability. This is by no means a complete listing of all possible triggers for trauma, and in case we have overlooked any that might trigger a post-traumatic response, we apologise in advance. In any case, we welcome your feedback (info@interfilm.de)."
