Favorites Film Festival Berlin
The Favorites Film Festival Berlin (short: FFFBerlin) is an international film festival that has been held annually in Berlin since 2011 . Films of all lengths, genres and genres that have previously won an audience award at an international festival will be shown. The initiators of the festival, Paula Syniawa and Anna Jurzik, are members of the non-profit organization Favorite Films e. V. organized.
In 2013, the 3rd edition took place from August 21st to 25th in the Kulturfabrik Moabit . In 2013 there was also a Favorites Film Festival in Bremen for the first time (June 20-23).
All the festival prizes are awarded by the audience. In addition to classic ballot voting, there are forms of playful live voting as part of the “Favorite Shorts Night”.
background
In its audience approach, the FFF ties in with the current discussion about the role of film festivals. Here niche films, films from countries beyond Germany, the USA or France, documentaries or short films that rarely reach regular cinemas find their way to the audience.
The FFF concentrates on the audience at all levels and shows films that have not been awarded by an expert jury, but by the festival audience themselves. It brings festival favorites from different countries together and thus offers a cross-section of what drives filmmakers and viewers alike.

outlook
The Favorites Film Festival is based in Berlin, but its program is also hosted elsewhere. The festival program or certain program segments are exported to other countries as well as other German cities in cooperation with local cinemas and cultural institutes. In 2012 the FFF was a guest at the Rocken am Brocken Festival in the Harz Mountains as well as the Royal Wedding Festival and the Im Rausch mit Freunde Festival in Berlin. In addition, a special edition of the festival took place on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. In 2013 the Favorites Film Festival Bremen (FFFBremen) took place in Bremen for the first time in City 46 .
