Live events are organized by KIEZ Berlin in Berlin's art galleries, and they bring together a variety of artists and filmmakers. This event not only supports local artists and galleries but also increases public awareness of films.

Our last event took place at the Luisa Catucci Gallery on the Allerstraße, in Berlin-Neukölln as part of this year's edition.

NEXT ANNUAL LIVE EVENT: MAY 5, 2023, LUISA CATUCCI GALLERY.
We will also add 2 new locations where more films will be screened on May 7 and May 8, in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin.

A selection of short films, trailers, and trailer clips will be shown during the annual festival.

Located in Neukölln's new trend neighborhood of Schillerkiez Neukölln, just a few meters away from Tempelhofer Feld, Luisa Catucci Gallery is more than just an art gallery; it symbolizes Neukölln's cultural change. The gallery also produces video art, sculpture, and photography, as well as exhibitions on ecological, social, and existential matters.

The Luisa Catucci Gallery organizes a variety of events, combining art with talks, culture, and enjoyment, to support the town's and region's vibrant spirit.

Everybody is welcome to attend our event free of charge.

At our latest live event, you met our team and experienced our passion, transparency, and dedication. These will always be there for you.

Awards & Prizes

Each category's winning projects will receive awards, and selected projects will be screened in Berlin galleries. We always offer free admission to our screening events. We are planning an even larger event based on the success of last year's event at Luisa Catucci's gallery. Playing in three galleries will allow us to show even more films, art, and accommodate even more people.

    Dear Kiez Berlin FF. Because we operate far away from Germany, we could unfortunately not attend your festival, which we truly regret. What I can say is that all our communications with you have been excellent. And thank you again for the honor of winning your trophy for our movie "A Fire in Africa". Kind regards. Gerhard Uys.

    Great organizers. This was the very first film festival to select my film and give it an award for the best documentary short. I will never forget that wonderful experience.
