Über die Veranstaltung
Founded in 2022, Indie Chinese Cinema Week (ICCW) is a Berlin-based festival showcasing bold, original, and emotionally resonant works from the Chinese-speaking world.
As a curatorial platform exploring the complex realities of contemporary China and the wider Sinophone sphere, ICCW fosters transcultural dialogue through grounded and diverse perspectives.
The 4th ICCW is supported by the Berlin Senate for Culture and Social Cohesion.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱｜𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲: 𝗖𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮 𝗮𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
This year’s edition reimagines cinema not merely as a form of storytelling, but as a living language — a way of seeing, acting, and shaping the future.
Through a powerful lineup of six feature films and fifteen shorts — most of them German or Berlin premieres — ICCW 2025 invites audiences to journey across languages, geographies, and identities, exploring stories that delve into migration, labor, gender, queer experience, urban transformation, and the ever-evolving sense of belonging.
