The 1963 Berlin International Film Festival took place from June 21 to July 2, 1963.

In response to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the festival showed competition films on television for the city's eastern sector via a so-called TV bridge. Before the Wall was built, the East Berliners were able to watch films from the competition in special screenings in a cinema in the Wedding district . The TV bridge should help.
