The KATZE Film Festival is thrilled to announce its return for the third year in 2025, inviting you to join us on an extraordinary journey to the edges of society, the human experience, and cinematic innovation. At KATZE, we are dedicated to exploring uncharted territories and embracing the unconventional. Our festival is a platform for filmmakers who dare to challenge norms, provoke thought, and redefine the boundaries of cinema.

From thought-provoking dramas to mind-bending experimental films, the KATZE Film Festival 2025 will showcase a diverse range of works that captivate, inspire, and challenge the status quo. We invite filmmakers from around the world to submit their visionary creations and be a part of this cinematic exploration.

Unleash your creativity. Explore the unknown. Embrace the Edge.
