Zeitgeist Northwest is presenting the annual Portland German Film Festival and KINOFEST Seattle in the fall of every year.

Our annual festivals showcases feature films, documentaries and short films that represent the state-of-the-art in German film making. We are also delighted to include films from Austria and Switzerland to give our audience the chance to experience the diversity, history and progress of German-speaking countries in Europe. All films are shown in German with English subtitles to allow a broad audience access to these German-language movies.

Film is a dynamic medium with the power to educate, inspire, intrigue and bring people together. Now in its 10th year, the Portland German Film Festival continues to offer thought-provoking and entertaining German language cinema to the U.S. Spanning first-releases, dynamic documentaries, up-and-coming new artists to wonderful children’s fare, and classic films. The festivals offers something for everyone.

Please check this website often for our monthly screenings at the Clinton Street Theater and other upcoming movie events! We are showing German or German language films the whole year round since 2014!

The Portland German Film Festival is a curated festival and we do not have open submissions.
