We invite artists, filmmakers, directors, and authors to participate in the inaugural International Rare Disease Film Festival Berlin. The aim is to increase awareness of the challenges that those living with rare diseases face.
We hope to showcase work focusing on various rare diseases from diverse points of view. The multitude of our patients’ lives should be expressed in films and documentaries of all genres.
The Rare Disease Film Festival Berlin is seeking short documentaries as well as artistic and experimental entries to inform and mobilize the public. This unique film festival aims to unite a wide range of artistic excellence combined with scientific experience.
The First Rare Disease Film Festival will take place on 28 Feb. 2021.
