225 films and XR works from around 60 countries, for one week in Leipzig. From 8 to 15 October, we were celebrating our 66th festival edition with numerous world premieres, film treasures from the archives and films for young audiences.

Unless otherwise stated, our film programmes are generally aimed at adults over the age of 18. For film-specific notes on violent or potentially traumatising content and depictions (Content Notes) as well as flashes of light that may trigger seizures in people with visual sensitivities (Photosensitivity Warning), please see the respective film pages.
