Get ready for cinematic experiences and unforgettable moments at the annual German film festival, Kinofest 2026. The festival returns from 1-13 December 2026 to close out the year.
This year, the festival once again retains its unique charm, with screenings across 13 venues and special open-air screenings in a relaxed outdoor atmosphere at the Goethe-Institut Thailand.
Join us for Kinofest 2026 and discover the richness of contemporary German cinema through inspiring stories, memorable characters, and unique perspectives from around the world. This year’s highlights are “Amrum”, the festival’s opening film in Thailand, which is the latest masterpiece by internationally acclaimed director Fatih Akin (“In the Fade”), “Oh, This Gap, This Terrible Gap”, “Berlin Hero”, and “The Secret Floor”, which will be screened in both Thai and English subtitles.
Apart from that, the festival will screen recent masterpieces like “Rose”, a black-and-white drama that won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale, “Silent Friend”, which won six awards at the Venice Film Festival, and “With Hasan in Gaza” a documentary awarded Best European Film at the Locarno Film Festival. The complete line-up also includes “The Experiment” (2001), “Circusboy”, “Hello Betty”, “Home Stories”, “I Understand Your Displeasure”, “The Family Approach”, “Luisa”, “The Prosecution”, and “Trial of Hein”.
