Berlin Sci-fi Filmfest is now in its 5th Year and after a difficult 2020 for all filmmakers and festival curators, we are still here. Our aim is to offer a platform for independent sci-fi Filmmakers to present their work on the big screen and to a live audience in one of the most beautiful and world-famous cinemas in Berlin – The Babylon, where in 1927 Metropolis had its first screening.
2020 saw us expand our horizons due to COVID pandemic. The first online Virtual Theatre was screened through XERB.TV. It proved to be a success and our plan is to run it in sync with the live festival. Our aim is always to make the festival more interesting, more international and more film-maker friendly. Over the last few years, we have been delighted by over 400 films from more than 38 different countries.
Our festival is the first genre-specific sci-fi film festival in Germany. We are passionate about film making and are interested in all things Sci-fi from geek interest, documentary, web-series, narrative, animation, music, experimental, fan-films, in fact, as long as it is Science Fiction – we love it!
Our festival is evolving, we are adding more events and attractions as we go. Our aim is a Sci-fi fun-fest that takes place at the end of November. We believe we have something for every science fiction fan.
