Teaser 2026

GEGENkino is getting underway and will kick off its 12th edition on September 10, 2026!

Once again, we remain true to our motto: GEGENkino is not against cinema, but in favor of a specific kind of cinema. Together with you and our international guests, we’ll explore various forms of unconventional and aesthetically transgressive cinema.

From September 10 to 20, we’ll be screening numerous feature-length and short films. We’ll also feature formats that expand the classic cinema experience, as well as critical discussions that examine individual works and the conditions under which films are created and distributed.

As always, we’ll be at UT Connewitz, the Luru-Kino in der Spinnerei, and the Schaubuehne Lindenfels—and this year we’ll also be on the road again with Milieu Kino in Leipzig.

More details on the program and its highlights coming soon.
