Bridge Between Two Cinema Cultures
The Film Festival Turkey/Germany in Nuremberg is the most important nationwide platform for intercultural exchange between Turkish and German film. Since the early 1990s, it has curated a dense program of feature films, short films, retrospectives, and special series, showcasing the diversity of contemporary Turkish and German-Turkish film production.
Competitions and Prizes
Three competitions are at the heart of the festival: the feature film competition, the short film competition, and the Öngören Prize for Democracy and Human Rights. The latter honors films that particularly engage with issues of democracy, human rights, and social justice.
Four Venues in Nuremberg's KunstKulturQuartier
The FFTD utilizes four venues within Nuremberg's KunstKulturQuartier: the Filmhaus Nürnberg, the KommKino, the Tafelhalle, and CineCittà. This geographical concentration makes the festival a focused experience in Nuremberg's city center – allowing attendees to easily move between venues and catch multiple screenings per day.
30th Anniversary – 2026
With its 2026 edition, the Film Festival Turkey/Germany celebrates its 30th anniversary. Over the years, the festival has honored luminaries such as Mario Adorf, Haluk Bilginer, and Zülfü Livaneli, becoming an institutional anchor for Turkish-German film culture in Germany.
