KUKI - International Short Film Festival for Children and Youth Berlin

From its humble beginnings as a children's film section at interfilm's International Short Film Festival Berlin in 2000, KUKI's growing success led to its eventual emancipation in 2008 when KUKI celebrated its first edition as a festival in its own right. Known for its exceptional programming the International Short Film Festival for Children and Youth Berlin is dedicated to presenting fabulous and unusual films that young people would otherwise rarely get a chance to see.
The KUKI Festival comprises 3 competition programmes for children and 2 competition programme for youth, the tremendously popular and lively kindergarten screening for 4-6 year olds (with presenters and live-music), short documentaries, foreign language programmes (for ages 14+) in English, Spanish, and French as well as an Environmental Programme. After every screening the audience is encouraged to participate in open discussions and question and answer sessions with filmmakers.
