Latest Events in Berlin(December Updated)

The Berlin International Film Festival, officially known as the Berlin Film Festival, is one of the world's most prestigious film festivals. Every year, it attracts thousands of filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts from around the world. The Berlin Film Festival offers a diverse program that celebrates the art of cinema through artistic exploration, cultural dialogue, and star-studded events.

Founded in 1951 during the Cold War, the festival was initially conceived as a "platform for the free world" in divided Berlin. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of the world's most politically engaged film festivals, reflecting the city's complex history and its role as a cultural crossroads. The 76th Berlin International Film Festival will be held from February 12th to 22nd, 2026.

The exhibition examines the transformative potential of public art and explores the methods and motivations behind such works, as well as their social impact.

Basketry is a cultural technique that is thousands of years old, practised worldwide, regionally distinctive and still a handicraft in the truest sense of the word. Humans alone have mastered the complex weaving method, with no machine capable of replacing their artisanship. The exhibition focuses on this fascinating skill and reveals the interconnections between historically evolved knowledge and modern innovations. The exhibition’s four sections – People, Protection, Material and Patterns – offer visitors the chance to discover numerous woven everyday objects from across Europe stemming from the Museum Europäischer Kulture (MEK, Museum of European Cultures) collection. A walk-in sculptural installation by artist Olaf Holzapfel and other international contemporary art and design works using various weaving techniques offer additional perspectives on the artisanal tradition.

The exhibition is aimed at gamers of all ages, but also at visitors who have little experience with computer games. The fact that computer games have developed into a leading medium is no longer a daring thesis. The social and aesthetic significance of the interactive and multimedia medium can no longer be overlooked. The computer game has freed itself from its origins as a laboratory experiment and toy and has become "the" medium of digital society, somewhere between pop culture, entertainment and art. With the opening of the exhibition »The World of Games« in the fall of 1997, the ZKM was one of the first art institutions worldwide to give video game culture a permanent public platform in an art context. Since then, the ZKM has repeatedly reshaped the presentation of games in a series of different exhibitions.

The exhibition “beyond tongues” presents these collaborative works in the form of an archive through which visitors can move.
