BEST OF ZEBRA 2023

3 – 6 pm | Kino Betonhalle | Entry free

poesiefestival berlin in its 25th edition, ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival celebrates 20 years! We showcase highlights from the last ZEBRA-edition. These poetry films take stances against violence, racism, war, and propaganda. They raise uncomfortable questions about the treatment of refugees and political dissidents, about environmental destruction, and gun violence. Dark, tender, challenging, and also humorous, they celebrate small victories over the seemingly inevitable structures of the world. The poetry films are based on poems written by Simon Armitage, Natalla Arsieńnieva, Ariane von Graffenried, Sawako Nakayasu, Raisa Troianker/Zgadka Volodymyr Sosiura and Zhai Yongming, among others.

Project management: Thomas Zandegiacomo Del Bel, Alexander Gumz
