The 2023 program is complete & online and from today tickets for all events are available in advance. Accredited visitors can also make bookings as soon as their payment has been completed.

We show around 130 films from 34 countries from the years 1902 to 2023, award four film prizes with prize money of 17,000 euros, we present one world premiere, several German premieres and rarely shown treasures from the silent film era. One film will be shown underground and we will project films onto the walls of downtown Dortmund.

We look forward to our audience!
