Get ready for the ACT NOW FILMFESTIVAL in Munich – November 2025!

This year, our festival is growing: an extended format and an even bolder mission. The ACT NOW FILMFESTIVAL invites films and stories that explore the powerful intersection of sports and activism — whether it’s about climate action, social justice, or challenging systems of inequality.

We believe in the transformative energy of athletes and sport communities to spark change and confront injustice. Join us for two unforgettable days of impactful cinema, inspiring conversations, and collective momentum for a better world.

Let sport speak. Let stories move. Let’s act now.

    We showed FROM HERE at Athletes Act Now last year, an experimental short on the complexity of individual positioning in the climate crisis made together with Protect Our Winters. The festival created such an open and inspiring atmosphere — combining films, activism, and community in a way that felt both relevant and hopeful. A great platform for meaningful exchange.
