INTERFILM 41 International Short Film Festival Berlin
4 - 9 November 2025

German Competition

Stories belong to those who tell them – and reclaim them! These 24 current German short films guide us beyond the realms of the sayable, the real and the fantastic. They ask questions of familiarity and the unknown. For long the German short cinema has been international and so coproductions are vital part of the program. In collaboration we blossom, when we bloom, we grow.

Curation: Vic Atanasov, Tara Balok Herbener, Sarah Dombrink
