March 1st - Join Us For All Your Favourite Shorts...
How could your festival be 10 years old? You look so young, what's your secret...?
The secret is human blood.
Join us on March 1st at 21:45 for a pre-festival shindig. We’ll be celebrating 10 years of Final Girls Berlin Film Festival in the only way we know how - by watching a pile of scary movies at City Kino Wedding! Hooray!
We're presenting a selection of our beloved audience award winners over the years, starting from our very first edition back in February 2017 with the claymation masterpiece "The Itching" and ending with our most recent winner "Olga's Eyes" about a bad-ass geriatric vampire! We hope this gets you in the mood for the chills and feminist thrills that await you at our 10th festival edition which starts on March 5th.
Check out the lineup below and buy your tickets now.
I mean, we’re not getting any younger.
