From December 1 to 5, the Weimarhalle will become the new hub for German-language television and streaming productions. The festival will showcase outstanding films and series from public broadcasters, private networks, and streaming platforms. Awards presented include the Television Film Award of the German Academy of Performing Arts, the German Series Award, and the 3sat Audience Award.
The move is part of a strategic realignment: the Academy aims to broaden its reach and draw fresh inspiration from Weimar, a city steeped in cultural heritage.
For the city, the festival represents a cultural enrichment and opens up new opportunities for the media and events industries. All film screenings are open to the public and free of charge. The accompanying program features panel talks, jury discussions, and networking events tailored to professionals in the field.
