The Greek Film Festival in Berlin unveils the new key visual that will mark its upcoming 11th edition,
which will take place at the historic cinema Babylon in Berlin Mitte on March 25–29th, 2026.
The key visual depicts the profile of a double face; on the background,
we can see its reflection.
However, this reflection is no shadow, but a bare reminder that we all “carry” many identities – or none, if we don’t want to.
This being of indefinite gender or origin is staring blankly into nothingness with a lit cigarette hanging from its fingers.
“Mustn’t” and “must”, “who”, “how”, “why” and “where from” have no place here.
In the freest city of Europe, this being does what it feels like doing. It is what it feels like being.
So, we follow its example and WE ARE WHAT WE FEEL.
We enjoy the freedom of our city. We make room for self-determination, conscious illusions and intuitions.
We abandon purity and clarity; we set sail for a life that supports feelings and at the same time awakens all senses.
Any mistakes, imperfections, losses or vulnerabilities are here, present, highlighting their absolute necessity through their beauty.
The photo was created by photographer Lefteris Koumaras.
The model is Mitzucker Rae Samson.
The key visual was adapted and artistically developed by visual designer Konstantinos Kamperis.
The full program of the festival’s films and events will be announced in early February.
About the Festival
The Greek Film Festival in Berlin is Berlin’s Greek film festival founded as Hellas Filmbox Berlin in 2015. The festival offers German and international audiences a unique chance to watch the best of new Greek cinema (or related to Greece) on the big screen. We show 35 to 40 fiction films, documentaries, and shorts, most of which are German or International premieres.
The five-day event takes place every March at the historic Babylon venue in the heart of Berlin. With the attendance of filmmakers, producers, distinguished Jury members, film professionals, artists, and by organizing parallel events, discussions, exhibitions, and networking happenings, the festival has become one of the leading film events in the city. Special thanks go out to our amazing and growing festival audience. The German-Greek Cultural Association organizes the festival.
The German-Greek Cultural Association was founded by German and Greek initiators in Berlin in April 2015 with the aim of supporting and strengthening Greek-German relations through cultural projects like Hellas Filmbox Berlin (2016- 2019), The Greek Film Festival in Berlin (2020 – today), The Greek Film Festival Goes Frankfurt, The Greek Film Festival goes Köln (currently).
The initiators of the German-Greek Cultural Association were artists Asteris Kutulas and Ina Kutulas.
Currently, on the Association’s Board of Directors is Sofia Stavrianidou (Festival Director).
