DIAMETRALE Film Festival 2026

10 Years Useless and Beautiful!
The dazzling 10th festival program of DIAMETRALE draws cinephile moths like a streetlamp: boldly colorful, sometimes loud and shrill, sometimes dark and contemplative—always daring and pushing boundaries. The films, lectures, and talks challenge and provoke, move you to tears and laughter alike.
Travel through time in the blink of an eye with a Japanese café owner, pay tribute to the great Udo Kier. Fly through the Gaylaxy with the queer Princess Saira, follow sex worker AP on her spiritual mission through Trashtown, battle creative blocks and childhood monsters alongside grungy Mia. Explore the blind spot of perception and discover what really goes wrong when pain is your USP.

The short film competition is once again the heart of the festival. And new on board this year: the collective Me AndOther Me, enriching the festival with an extensive immersive program.
And because it was so wonderful—extra kisses to the die-hard DIAMETRALE fans: the world’s second screening of DAS GLÜCK DER LÜCKE, the completely unplanned spark that ignited the festival!
