Our Key Visual 2024! Accreditations now open!

We present: our Key Visual 2025!

With its bright choice of colours and fun motif this year’s key visual announces spring. Its lemon butterfly-yellow, computer-generated world is highly imaginative and playful, but it also transports cinematic elements: a sound puff becomes a fluffy caterpillar body that has settled on the perforated silver screen. This image is about new beginnings and change; and it is about the circle of creativity: from caterpillar, to cocoon, to butterfly – and back again. What IFFF…? What if the cinema is a cocoon? As we emerge from it we are transformed.

The motif was once again realized by our wonderful graphic designer Ina Bunge (Ten Ten Team) and this year for the first time in collaboration with 3D artist Daniel Ludwig.

The IFFF Dortmund+Köln 2025 will take place from April 1–6 in various cinemas in Dortmund.

Accreditation for filmmakers, students and journalists is now open. Registration deadline is March 19.

We are looking forward to a fantastic, inspiring and empowering Festival 2025 with you!
