Preparations have started

Dear friends of the Taxifilmfest,

We are delighted to announce the second edition of the Taxi Film Festival for the period from 13 February 2025 to 23 February 2025.

The availability of our Taxifilmfesttaxi is confirmed, we are ready to go. Now all we have to do is select films and we’re off. Everything else is ‘nice to have’ but not essential:

– proper cinemas,
– great workshops,
– panel discussions,
– sponsor platform,
– advertising and marketing.

What works works. What doesn’t work doesn’t work because it wasn’t thought through carefully enough. Then we don’t need it. We are proud to successfully realise an (almost) zero-budget festival. However, tangible and financial support is still welcome, because every cooperation, every additional ‘hand’ and every cent enables us to improve and offer our taxi colleagues, filmmakers and audience a better Taxifilmfest.

To date, 170 films and videos have been submitted for the 2025 Taxi Film Festival via the filmfreeway.com platform. We are starting to sift through them. With a bit of luck, they will include rare gems that we won’t find through our own contacts.

We also receive support from other festivals that screen films and videos on similar topics. All in all, it looks as if the 2025 Taxi Film Festival will not only show the favourite films of Berlin taxi drivers, but will also be able to present new perspectives and developments from the entire taxi world to our audience.

We are currently putting together a selection committee and jury of taxi colleagues and experts from international festivals and film production. If you would like to get involved, please write to submit@taxifilmfest.de.

Wish us luck, the end of the road will not be until 23 February 2025.
