Berlin Sci-Fi Filmfest was the first genre-specific Sci-Fi film festival in Germany. Berlin is a metropolis that welcomes a better future. Berlin Sci-Fi Filmfest is looking for thought provoking science fiction that makes audiences think, feel, and reflect on our place in the universe and our future.
We are SF (Speculative Fiction) oriented, embracing thoughtful and genre-bending films. We are particularly interested in films that reflect the New Weird, as well as animated films of all types. We also enjoy good Hard Sci/Fi.
In 2024, we stumbled across an emerging genre that we have named Psychopunk. Psychopunk uses familiar tropes of Cyberpunk to explore relationships, mental health, self-expression, and human potential in a rapidly changing world of technologies such as artificial intelligence, prescription and designer drugs, and cybernetics. Psychopunk stories tend to be about normal people facing normal problems. If you have a movie or script that fits this description, we are very interested in seeing your film.
