B3 Film Festival

Glamorous, avant-garde and diverse.

The B3 Film Festival shows current feature-length and short films from all over the world. The films are German premieres with social relevance and narrative brilliance. In addition, films with special topicality are also considered.

The B3 shows fiction as well as documentary films that will inspire both professional and public audiences. The films stimulate thought, laughter, tears and discussion.

The films will be discussed in depth with the filmmakers. We look forward to inspiring conversations and discussions!
