INTERFILM Festival presents: (After)work Adventures
While some people hustle from 9 to 5 and then enjoy their down time, for others, the hard work really begins after hours. Work-life balance seems to be a big deal, especially in the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands, as well as in Latvia and Spain.
This selection from past editions of the INTERFILM and KUKI festivals will be shown on March 17, 2026, at the SOULCAT bar in Berlin.
March 17, 2026, from 7 p.m.
