Zebra Poetry Film Festival

The penultimate edition of the Zebra Poetry Film Festival took place in Autumn 2025 in the Kuppelhalle of the silent green Kulturquartier in Wedding. The festival showcased a curated selection of poetry-based short films from around 80 countries, divided into an international competition, several thematic programs, and the youth program Zebrino. Film discussions with attending directors, filmmakers, and translators accompanied the screenings — the tension between poetry and moving images once again formed the thematic core.

The organizer remained the Haus für Poesie, Berlin's central institution for poetry. With the 2025 edition, the festival strengthened its international network and laid the groundwork for the next edition from June 4 to 7, 2026, which will focus on Argentina (VideoBardo) as its first South American guest country.
