Call for Films

The Berlin Critics’ Week presents seven evenings of film screenings with debates and an opening conference during the time of Berlinale, one of the largest film festivals in the world. Every year we are looking for the most stimulating new perspectives of filmmaking to foster interdisciplinary conversations on the present and future of cinema from aesthetic and political perspectives. The films we show are curated by an international committee of film critics which changes annually. The 7th edition of the Critics’ Week will be held from February 10-18, 2021.

For the first time we are officially accepting a limited number of film submissions, which will be considered for inclusion in the program alongside the curated selection, in order to expand the scope of the selection and explore current tendencies within filmmaking more deeply. 

The film submission for Berlin Critics’ Week 2021 ended on October 25th and is now closed.

Thank you for submitting your works!
