The anniversary – a milestone of the KINO ASYL film festival – will take place this year from December 1 to 6! For the past five years, young people with refugee backgrounds from various countries of origin have been curating a wide range of films from their homelands. In addition to presenting animated films, series, and feature films, the curators actively help shape every aspect of the festival week.
Since 2015, when the “first KINO ASYL in the world” invited audiences to discover films from across the globe, much has changed. Most of the curators have now lived in Germany for several years. They’ve formed friendships, started families, found jobs, apprenticeships, or university placements — they’ve arrived. Their refugee experience is part of their identity, but the next chapter has already begun. This sense of arrival is reflected in the festival itself.
The selected films offer insight into the personal stories, lived experiences, and individual interests of each curator. At KINO ASYL, it’s not just about screening films — it’s also about the personalities, the histories, and the present lives of the young people behind them.
