3rd Visionär Film Festival - Berlin

BERLINERS, SAVE THE DATE!

Visionär Film Festival is thrilled to announce its third edition, taking place from the 3rd to the 7th of April at ACUDkino. We invite you to the event, starting from its big opening night!

Visionär selects international directors who, for the first time(s), use the format of the full-length feature film, breaking with familiar patterns to pursue new narrative and aesthetic paths.

The festival pursues an international as well as local orientation: By presenting short films by Berlin filmmakers, it aims to support and connect emerging young filmmakers from all over the world and young filmmakers from Berlin, and to promote an exchange between them and the public.

Visionär seeks to reach filmmakers and film lovers of all generations, to assemble a wide range of experiences, stories and aesthetics without being tied to specific thematic selection criteria. On the contrary, the chosen films generate points of friction that are both aesthetically and content-conscious: they are diverse, heterogeneous, sometimes contradictory, always surprising and therefore very exciting. Once again, they show the diversity of the medium of film.

Visionär believes and respects gender equality and gender inclusivity in its selection. This year it actually presents more female* and non-binary directors than male ones. We are very happy to contribute support to women in this industry that doesn’t always make it so easy for them.
