The Berlin Sci-Fi Filmfest is Germany's first genre-specific science fiction film festival, offering a platform for independent filmmakers globally. The festival seeks thought-provoking science fiction films across various formats, including features, shorts, animation, and documentaries, that explore our place in the universe and our future. It embraces speculative fiction and has identified emerging genres like "Psychopunk" which explores technology's role in relationships and mental health. The festival has partnered with venues such as the Babylon Cinema and plans to utilize Urania, a scientific society, to foster exchange between science, literature, and film.
