A NEW KIND OF FILM FESTIVAL

Berlin Gate isn't built like other festivals — and that's the point. Born in Berlin, a city that has always crossed borders, BGIFF opens a new path for independent cinema from every corner of the world: a festival designed not only to judge films, but to get them seen and supported.

We believe every project has a spark of brilliance in it somewhere. That's why every eligible film here gets a real chance to be seen — not just a line in a rejection email.

OPEN FROM THE FIRST CLICK TO THE FINAL NIGHT

Most festivals go silent after you press "submit". We don't. From the day you enter to the final night in Berlin, every step of the journey is clear: where your film stands, what comes next, and how it can go further.

FREE TO ENTER. BUILT TO BE SEEN.
