On 5 days we screen more than 16 movies from, about and of punk, chaos, anarchy and gentrification.
Like every year we have live acoustic sets from different musicians at the cinema.
We are extra excited if filmmakers wish to visit the festival in order to give talks or workshops on a particular aspect of diy cinema. We are committed to creating space for punk and resistance voices and visions.

There will be also a live show at near venue.

The Punkfilmfest Berlin screens movies from, about and with punk, chaos, anarchy and gentrification.

    The second time we have participated in the festival, and on both occasions it has been well organized with good communication, and a great diverse programme from punk creators. Thank you to all, and long live 'Too Drunk To Watch'!
