    The Short Nights of Berlin takes place at an intimate, urban and romantic venue in the heart of Berlin, and creates a welcoming and warm atmosphere for independent films and their film makers. Thank you for having me!

    Sweet and lovely evening at one of the weekly open air screenings in August.

    Me and my crew had a great time presenting our project and watching a captivating selection of films in a nice atmosphere. The hosts are passionate about indie cinema and provide an uncomplicated, seamless organization.

    It was such a pleasure to premiere our short film 'LIGHT' at this beautiful & inspiring festival in our hometown of Berlin! The organisers did an incredible job of curating, marketing & hosting the event; it was a real celebration of local cinema - with a sold out audience. Iris was amazing in the Q&A; across the evenings there were many interesting discussions with the filmmakers. All in all a friendly, supportive, community film festival - 10/10!
