Travelling Film Festival Berlin: 5 movies, 5 food experiences, 1 big journey around the world.
Cinema and food: is there a better combination to introduce a country to a foreigner?
Probably not, and this is why the Travelling FIlm Festival Berlin is born: an upcoming 5-day film&food festival taking place in Berlin from Nov. 28th to Dec. 2nd at IL KINO, Nansenstraße 22, a Cozy cinema in Neukölln.

Our Aim
Each day is focused on one country: Croatia will be the opening day, following United Arab Emirates, Moldova, Serbia and Italy (Sardinia) – the last one. After a welcome and presentation, the screening of one of the most famous films of each country and a traditional buffet dinner will follow. The aim of the festival is to promote culture, costumes and traditions of the five countries through the aid of videos and other turistic tools, in order to make participants experience an amazing journey across the world, inspire guests for the next trip and get them in touch with a multicultural context without leaving Berlin.
