Symbolbild Screening
Under the motto "Forget Hollywood – show it to the neighbors!", 27 films will be screened – from feature films about people and buildings to gripping short films and everyday stories from our own backyard.
The number of submissions significantly exceeds that of the previous year: senior citizens, students, social institutions, amateurs, and professionals will all showcase the diversity of regional filmmaking. Several films will be shown consecutively in each session – a vibrant kaleidoscope of local creativity.
A highlight will be the awards ceremony in five categories, decided by a prominent jury including radio presenter Gerlinde Jänicke and actor Raphaël Vogt.
New this year: the LA46 podcast with background stories and interviews, as well as Q&As with directors and crews directly after the screenings.
Tickets cost €5 and are available online or at the Thalia cinema.
LA46 Film Festival
The LA46 Film Festival, founded in 2024, sees itself as a platform for local stories, creative talent, and a strong sense of community in southwest Berlin.
- Because: Great cinema doesn't just happen in Hollywood—sometimes right next door.
