| The Berlinale took place from February 12 to 24, with nearly 280 films being screened. Festival director Tricia Tuttle invited audiences and industry professionals to the film festival for the second year running. The number of German films in the lineup increased once again, with a total of 80 German productions and co-productions being shown in the sections of one of the three largest international film festivals, including 56 films with German majority ownership. The German selection included the opening film NO GOOD MEN by Shahrbanoo Sadat, the competition entries YELLOW LETTERS by İlker Çatak, MY WIFE CRIES by Angela Schanelec, and HOME STORIES by Eva Trobisch, as well as Kai Stänicke's TRIAL OF HEIN in Perspectives, the section for first feature film competition entries. The Golden Bear at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival went to YELLOW LETTERS by İlker Çatak. The drama, produced by if...productions, won the main prize in the competition. After the social drama THE TEACHER’S LOUNGE was shown in the Panorama section in 2023, director İlker Çatak returned to the Berlinale with his new film. YELLOW LETTERS is about Derya and Aziz, a celebrated artist couple from Ankara. They lead a fulfilling life with their 13-year-old daughter Ezgi – until an incident at the premiere of their new play changes everything. Overnight, they become a stage target and lose their jobs and their apartment. They move to Istanbul. Gradually, the distance between the two adults and their daughter grows until they have to choose between their values and their future together as a family. Congratulations to the entire YELLOW LETTERS team, including director İlker Çatak and producer Ingo Fliess. An equally important award went to Sandra Hüller. The German actress was named Best Actress for her leading role in ROSE by Markus Schleinzer. In this historical drama, she plays a woman who pretends to be a man for many years in the 17th century because “life in trousers promises freedom.” Her performance was praised for lending depth and great humanity to this complex character. Even before the gala ceremony in the evening, it was announced that PROSECUTION by Faraz Shariat would receive an award: the 28th Audience Award in the Panorama category for Best Feature Film goes to PROSECUTION. The drama revolves around prosecutor Seyo Kim, who takes her own case to court after a racist attack on her life, thus taking on a system that downplays right-wing extremism. TRIAL OF HEIN by director Kai Stänicke received the Teddy Award from the jury. The film tells the story of a man who returns to his village after 14 years and is not recognized by the community but treated as a stranger. The European Film Market 2026 was also a success, registering five percent more participants than in the previous year. Most of the more than 12,500 industry representatives who visited came from Germany, followed by the USA, France, the UK, and Italy. The German Films stand (No. 18), which we ran together with Focus Germany and the FFA, was very well attended every day by representatives of the international film and media industry – mainly producers, buyers and sales agents, distributors and financiers – and, as in previous years, it became an important meeting place. The German Films Reception was held, as is traditional, on the Saturday of the first festival weekend. This time, around 250 guests gathered at the Essenza restaurant on Potsdamer Platz, including the makers of the participating films, industry experts, film programmers, and festival directors from the most important international festivals.

| For the first time from February 12-14, 2026, the European Film Market (EFM) at the Berlinale launched Animation Days as a new industry hub to significantly strengthen the visibility of European and international animation within the global co-production scene. Conceived as a dedicated platform with strong partners like MDM and MOIN film funds in Germany, the three-day program brought together producers, financiers, sales agents, broadcasters and distributors through a focused mix of pitches, works in progress, case studies, workshops and curated networking formats. At the heart of the initiative were almost 30 animated feature projects in early development, presented across five pitching sessions spanning family entertainment, arthouse animation and animated documentary. International and country-focused showcases from Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Germany and the UK underlined the program's global scope, while a dedicated International Animation selection highlighted ambitious cross-border co-productions. A key highlight was the Annecy Animation Showcase at EFM, curated by the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and its market MIFA. Five works in progress set to premiere later in 2026 offered an exclusive early look at projects distinguished by strong auteur voices, innovative storytelling and clear market positioning. Beyond project presentations, the EFM Animation Days placed strong emphasis on practical insight and knowledge exchange. Case studies explored contemporary production models, international financing structures and technological innovation, while panels and workshops addressed pressing industry topics — from animated documentaries and independent financing frameworks to theatrical distribution strategies and cross-format adaptation. With its combination of high-level showcases, in-depth discussions and targeted networking opportunities, the EFM Animation Days marked a strategic step in integrating animation more fully into the international co-production ecosystem, reflecting both the sector's growing artistic ambition and its increasing economic relevance worldwide. | |

The ceremony marked the grand finale of three intense days of networking and exchange with the international jury, casting directors, producers, and journalists, alongside a fully booked and vibrant public showcase at the Berlinale Hub.

Overall, the German presence combined film screenings, market activities, funding expertise, and networking—thus positioning itself strategically for international cooperation within the Nordic region and beyond. | |

| German cinema abroad looks back on a highly successful year in 2025. Overall, German films generated nearly €250 million in box office revenues outside Germany and attracted more than 33 million viewers. Compared to 2024, this represents an increase of around 115 percent. In 2025, a total of 594 German films — including majority and minority co-productions — were released in 87 countries worldwide. Of these, 297 titles (50 percent) were majority German productions originating from Germany. Compared to previous years, this represents a significant expansion both in the number of titles released and in their international reach. Building on the strong results already achieved by mid-2025, the international box office revenues of German films increased substantially over the full year. Compared with 2024, total revenues more than doubled, rising by approximately 115 percent. Overall, German films generated €249.8 million in box office revenues outside Germany in 2025 and attracted more than 33 million admissions. Compared to 2024, this corresponds to an increase in revenues of around 115 percent (2024: €116 million) and a more than doubling of audience numbers (2024: 15.8 million admissions). Among the most successful majority German productions of the year were MARIA, MANITOU´S CANOE, GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE, SEPTEMBER 5 and STITCH HEAD. Together, these five titles generated €49.9 million in international box office revenues and reached 6.64 million admissions.
In the category of minority German co-productions, REGRETTING YOU ranked as the most successful title of the year, achieving €70.4 million in revenues and 8.46 million admissions. It was followed by THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME, which earned €32.4 million and attracted 3.71 million admissions worldwide. The 297 majority German productions generated a total of €94.9 million at international box offices and reached 13.1 million admissions outside Germany. This accounted for approximately 38 percent of the total international revenues of German films in 2025. By comparison, in 2024 majority German films achieved a box office revenue of €53,5 million and attracted a total of 7,08 million viewers. This confirms the successful international positioning of majority German productions in 2025. As in 2024, Europe once again proved to be the most important market for majority German productions in 2025. Box office revenues in Europe amounted to €68.7 million, representing 72.4 percent of total revenues generated by majority German productions, with 8.7 million admissions. North America ranked second, with more than €13 million in revenues and over 1.6 million admissions, of which the United States alone contributed more than €11.2 million. Find the full report HERE. General Information: Basis of data: This evaluation of international cinema figures was based on data from the ComScore database. ComScore presents international box office turnovers and audience numbers as reported by the respective distributors. Films and their respective statistics that are not reported to ComScore cannot be included in the evaluation. The data are based on those submitted to ComScore for the evaluation period 01.01.2025 to 31.12.2025. Calculation of missing audience numbers: As some countries enter their box office turnovers but not their audience numbers, the latter have been calculated. The calculation of the number of admissions is based on the average ticket prices of the respective country published annually by the European Audiovisual Observatory. Data calculated in this way are marked (*). Definition of majority German films: The definition of majority German films was brought into line in 2019. Thus, this refers to films in which the largest share of financing is German. In the evaluations prior to 2019, films whose financing consisted of at least 50% German shares were referred to as majority German. For this reason, a comparison of box office and audience figures between the period up to and including 2018 and the period from 2019 onwards can only be made for all films with German participation (majority and minority). As a basis for the assessment, the funding shares were taken from the BAFA notification (if available). | |
| The focus of the next session for the English-language KINO! FILM SALON online film club on March 22nd will be the music drama KÖLN 75 by Ido Fluk. Our curator Jim Kolmar's comment on the movie: "Ido Fluk's irreverent KÖLN 75 provided an essential jolt of unabashed joy as it traveled across festivals last year. Set in 1975, the film follows Vera Brandes (Mala Emde), a young woman determined to make an impression in the male-dominated world of concert promotion. She spots the ideal opportunity in staging a show for legendary, mercurial jazz icon Keith Jarrett…and it won’t be easy.
KÖLN 75 is a vibrant treat, with ravishing period details, vivid characters and of course plenty of that timeless music. Featuring an international cast that includes John Magaro as Jarrett, Fluk’s film is a celebration of musical expression, tenacity and the sense of community that flourishes around shared creative energy. It’s a must-see, and an engaging, escapist balm that feels like something we all need right now. Special Guest: Sol Bondy from ONE TWO FILMS (German co-producer of Oscar® nominated film THE SECRET AGENT) will introduce and discuss the film. RSVP here Date and time: Sunday, March 22, 2026 at 11:00am – 12:00pm PT, 2:00pm – 3:00pm ET, 8:00pm – 9:00pm CET.
Hosted by Jim Kolmar KINO! FILM SALON is a production by Telescope Film, in collaboration with the German Film Office Trailer here | |
| Episode 93 - March 5, 2026:
Director Alexandra Brodski talks to us about her love for filmmaking, her obsession with yoga, tomatoes and Salman Rushdie – not necessarily in that order. And why watching THE NANNY holds a special meaning for her and also why she doesn’t have time for regrets. Episode 94 - March 26, 2026:
Writer-director Yves Hensel chatted with us about a formative LORD OF THE RINGS cinema experience in his youth, the importance of empathy, singing and making music on his own – and hummus. You can find all of the episodes on our website and wherever podcasts are available. SHORT TAKE on Instagram! | |
| Episode 3 - March 10, 2026:
From SNOW WHITE to his animation feature STITCH HEAD – it’s all in a career’s work for Steve Hudson. We talked to the writer-director and actor about the importance of emotional moments in films in general but especially in children's films, how his punk past in Britain had an ever so slight influence on STITCH HEAD'S visuals, and why 90 percent of being a director is very similar to being a traffic cop.
Episode 4 - March 24, 2026:
We had a wonderful conversation with director, animator and stop-motion artist Mona Keil about her creative process. About how physical sensation is usually the inspiration for her films, the strange addiction of stop-motion and some great insights on her latest film. You can find all of the episodes on our website and wherever podcasts are available. DEEP DIVE GENRE on Instagram! | |
