What are the topics we touch on when we talk about being a migrant? This question serves as the starting point for selecting the Berlin category. The short films presented in this category seek to give meaning to the complex journey of feeling far away, both physically and mentally. Through emotional and insightful stories, the directors invite the viewer to explore the challenges of adapting to survive in new realities through empathy and understanding.
These short films not only transport us to different realities but also challenge us to question and reconstruct our own perceptions of identity, home, and belonging.

Welcome to the Vierte Welle Film Festival, an event dedicated to celebrating and promoting diversity, inclusion and gender equality in the film industry. In its 4th edition, our festival continues to be a vital space to highlight the talents of filmmakers from around the world who challenge established norms and explore new narratives that reflect their vision of feminism in all its forms.
On 15, 16 and 17 March, attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a captivating selection of films that address a wide range of related themes from Berlin, Ecofeminism, Body Neutrality, Me Too to Trans Lives Matter.
In addition to screening films, the festival offers a platform for dialogue and exchange of ideas through panel discussions, talks and special events.
We hope you enjoy the diversity of stories our festival has to offer, and that you will join us in celebrating the power of film to inspire, educate and promote change.
Thank you for joining us for this new edition of the Festival!
