INTERFILM 40 International Short Film Festival Berlin
5 - 10 November 2024

Specials

This year's Specials even include a director's advice for weathering our stormy present: "A Filmmaker's Guide to Survival" touches on political positioning, technological development and the precarious. Is it true or false? Enjoy the collapse of perspective in "Reality Bites". Things get surreal, emotional and intimate in "Craving for Narratives", which features playful essay films probing the interpretive sovereignty of the real.

While "Queer Fever" explores the meaning of true happiness and fathoms the limits of desire, "Alle Macht der Super 8" goes all in on a retro-trip: the interfilm Super 8 classics are an homage to the post-punk ethos of DIY culture. Selected by a team of 15- to 19-year-old curators, "Girls* Riot!" takes a deep look at self-determination, identity and sexuality. Finally, "Teenage Riot" sheds light on what it means to grow up, with empathetic narratives employing unconventional visual language.
