For the 32nd time, PRIDE PICTURES will turn Karlsruhe into a space of queer stories, perspectives, and encounters. Over eight days, audiences can look forward to a diverse program of 15 new, bold, and emotional feature films and documentaries, along with two carefully curated short film programs.
The festival kicks off with a dazzling party night at Alte Hackerei and continues throughout the week with intense cinema experiences, discussions, and community moments. A special highlight is the panel at the Young State Theater under the theme Diverse Karlsruhe: Queer Culture, Visibility & Free Spaces, addressing the political and cultural challenges of queer culture.
At the center of attention is the PRIDE PICTURES PRISM Award, presented for the second time. Supported by the UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe, the €1,000 prize will be awarded by a distinguished jury (Oska M. Borcherding, Eva Maria Jost, Popo Fan) during the festive award ceremony at the Kinemathek – including a special screening of the winning film.
In addition, Alistair Hudson, Scientific-Artistic Chairman of the ZKM, has taken on the festival’s patronage and will host queer-themed guided tours at the ZKM.
