Berlinale Shorts is the Festival's platform for short films. A place for films that look at reality objectively and without restraint. Filmmakers are artists who are aware of the possibilities of filmmaking and, moreover, are people who understand the current state of cinema. Berlinale Shorts are films that go beyond what the eye sees and contribute to explaining it to help viewers understand it.
This year’s short films cover a range of topics, from the realistic to the surreal, from magic to violence. They tell of a world that is changing dramatically and increasingly threatening nature, forcing it to adapt. Indifferently and immorally. But they also talk about war and loss: How did they get there? How do they cope with it? And what happens next?
The highlight of the screening program is the German film “Three Stones for Jean Genet”, a film that has received prestigious awards and been shown at many different film festivals. The content revolves around desire and vows, a city, a friendship and a mysterious story.
Films will be shown with English and Vietnamese subtitles. Admission is free to all screenings.
