INTERFILM 38 International Short Film Festival Berlin
15 - 20 November 2022

International Competition

Curated according to an overarching concept, the titles sum up the thematic content of the separate programs within the section, forming a collective picture of the individual in society. The 53 films of the International Competition highlight the work of directors who have created stories revolving around the thoughts and emotions of humans embedded in systems. Domestic political events and international affairs, the pandemic, economic crisis, inflation, environmental disasters: subjects that preoccupy the film protagonists across the globe. As the works unfold, they take us inside their worlds and inspire us through their thoughts and actions.
