city film days

City film days are an annual film event, with each edition being dedicated to a different city. For each city, a curator compiles a two-day program of short, documentary, and feature films to draw a cinematic portrait of his/her hometown, its history and architecture, its everyday life and its political and social challenges. City film days invite their visitors to explore the multifacedness of urban space. They aim to be both a platform for emerging film makers and an event bringing together different communities in Berlin and beyond. City film days are hosted by the non-profit organization 21. Oktober e.V.
