The Berlin International Film Festival, officially known as the Berlin Film Festival, is one of the world's most prestigious film festivals. Every year, it attracts thousands of filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts from around the world. The Berlin Film Festival offers a diverse program that celebrates the art of cinema through artistic exploration, cultural dialogue, and star-studded events. The history of the Berlin Film Festival is as fascinating as the films it screens. Founded in 1951 during the Cold War, the festival was initially conceived as a "platform for the free world" in divided Berlin. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of the world's most politically engaged film festivals, reflecting the city's complex history and its role as a cultural crossroads. The 76th Berlin International Film Festival will be held from February 12th to 22nd, 2026.

Basketry is a cultural technique that is thousands of years old, practised worldwide, regionally distinctive and still a handicraft in the truest sense of the word. Humans alone have mastered the complex weaving method, with no machine capable of replacing their artisanship. The exhibition focuses on this fascinating skill and reveals the interconnections between historically evolved knowledge and modern innovations. The exhibition’s four sections – People, Protection, Material and Patterns – offer visitors the chance to discover numerous woven everyday objects from across Europe stemming from the Museum Europäischer Kulture (MEK, Museum of European Cultures) collection. A walk-in sculptural installation by artist Olaf Holzapfel and other international contemporary art and design works using various weaving techniques offer additional perspectives on the artisanal tradition.

The Berlinische Galerie has devoted over 1000 square metres to presenting its collection. Waiting to be discovered among the roughly 250 works on show are paintings, prints, photographs, architecture and archive materials rarely or never displayed before. Walking around this exhibition is like time travel and takes visitors through Berlin in 17 chapters: the Kaiser’s era, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi dictatorship, the new beginnings after 1945, Cold War in the divided city, and the counter-cultures and unconventional lifestyles that evolved in East and West under the shadow of the Wall. In East Berlin, an alternative art community developed from the late 1970s. In West Berlin from the late 1970s, aggressive art by the “Neue Wilden” placed the divided city back in the international limelight.

The exhibition examines the transformative potential of public art and explores the methods and motivations behind such works, as well as their social impact.
