In September 2023, Kino Kosova will take place in Bern for the fourth time. With an exciting programme of films, workshops and side events, we celebrate Kosovar film art in all its diversity and magnificence.

From 20 to 24 September, film lovers will gather in Bern to enjoy a diverse selection of films, including shorts, documentaries and full-length productions by established filmmakers as well as up-and-coming talents. With over 30 films from Kosovo and this year's guest country Greece, the festival offers audiences the opportunity to experience cinema in all its diversity and to learn about diverse perspectives from the Balkan region. We want to offer a platform for the special connection between Switzerland and Kosovo and shed light on various aspects that characterise Kosovar (and European) society - migration, gender, visas and laws, hopes and struggles.

The fourth edition of the festival is dedicated to fearless and boundary-pushing filmmakers from the independent film scene, showcasing a hand-picked selection of thought-provoking and visually stunning films that have all found a very unique and innovative way of telling their stories. Visitors can look forward to exciting follow-up discussions with filmmakers and actors as well as exclusive events and concerts.
