For the 8th time Lichtspielklub presents new (and short) films from Great Britain! For four days they’ll show drama, comedy, thriller, documentary, animation, experimental films and much more from the home country of dirty weather. Made by British and Irish directors, film students and other filmmakers that are living and working in the UK and Ireland.

For the third year in a row the best short film will be awarded. In addition there will be a workshop with lecturers from the University of Bedfordshire/UK, discussions, concerts, parties, open screening and exhibition at one of Berlin’s most beautiful art house cinemas the Sputnik Kino and other venues in Berlin (tba).
