Filmkunstmesse Leipzig 2025

The Filmkunstmesse Leipzig 2025 will take place from September 22 to 26 in various cinemas in Leipzig, including the Passage Kinos, the Schauburg and the CineStar. This event is the largest industry trade fair for independent arthouse cinemas in Germany and offers a platform for exchange between cinema operators, distributors, producers and other film industry professionals.

Main topics of the fair:

• Film screenings: Presentation of new arthouse films well before their national release
• Discussion panels: Exchange on market positioning and target group orientation
• Workshops: Seminars on current issues in the film art market
• Awards: Presentation of the Guild Film Prize and the Audience Award

In addition to the film screenings, there will be numerous discussion rounds and workshops in which strategies for marketing and the potential of the films shown will be discussed. Public screenings will take place in the evening, which will also serve as test screenings. The event thus offers valuable insights into the world of arthouse cinema not only to trade visitors, but also to the general public.
