The Greek Film Festival in Berlin unveils the new key visual that will mark its upcoming 10th anniversary edition, which will take place at the historic cinema Babylon in Berlin Mitte on March 26–30th, 2025.
Central to the visual identity is a woman. We don’t know who she is, but we can see her dance – empowered and passionate, moving freely, like nothing around her matters. She dances zeibekiko on a bouzouki tune; a traditional, Greek dance that might be described as masculine. However, such things do not exist. All dances, all kinds of art, any human expression as a whole, can come from anyone and for anyone. The woman is surrounded by bright marquee lights, thus creating a sense of celebration and fun, of a space where concepts are scattered. Τo the foreground comes the full awakening of the senses, of joy; life itself.
“We are celebrating our 10th anniversary. Our visual identity for this year’s festival creates a sense of celebration, paying homage to Greek musical creation, to the stage decorated with marquee lights that has hosted people from all walks of life in Greece. With a contemporary, assertive, modern take on tradition and history, we are looking forward to welcoming our beloved audience in Berlin”, the organizers mentioned.
The key visual was created by visual designer Konstantinos Kamperis.
The full program of the festival’s films and events will be announced on February 4th.
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 are Sofia Stavrianidou (Festival Director).
