Final Girls Berlin Film Festival Returns for Its 10th Edition: "Having grown from a humble two-day event with around 15 attendees to a five-day genre showcase at City Kino Wedding, the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival is celebrating its 10th edition.

These successes underscore the growing recognition and impact of women, trans, and non-binary filmmakers in genre cinema. As horror evolves, they’re leading the charge, and we’re proud to showcase both the industry’s rising stars and its boldest new visions.
