2024
PuanFor the second year running, INVASION represented Argentine cinema in the Schlüterhof of the Humboldt Forum: “Puan” by María Alché and Benjamín Naishtat, screened as part of “Box Office Around the World”, which brings box-office hits from around the globe to an open-air screen across three August weekends.
2023
Ten years of INVASIONTen years have passed since the first edition. In 2014, Argentine culture — with cinema as its starting point — burst into Berlin for the first time, for a whole month, in cinemas and cultural spaces. With every edition that followed the festival took new shapes, changing houses and skins. After the pandemic we left the online format behind and returned to the kind of encounter we like best: in person, in the cinema, face to face.
2022
Back to the cinemaIn nine years INVASION has changed spaces and formats: born in Berlin, on tour across Germany, a guest in Buenos Aires; lasting a month, a week, a weekend, one night. The festival survived the pandemic in its online version — and is still here, eager to watch good cinema in the original language.
2021
Let the wind mess up your hairThis year's programme was especially varied — not only because it gathered fiction, documentary and hybrid forms, women and men directors, co-productions between Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Spain, Germany, Brazil and Norway, but because the subjects, aesthetics and ways of telling were so different.
2020
The seventh edition went onlineIn its seventh edition the festival expanded across all of Germany in an online version. The programme included six films, one selected from each previous edition, introduced by their directors and free to watch all weekend.
2019
Three Berlin filmmakersThis year's selection gathers the boldest Argentine work of the past two years: filmmakers who take a risk by stepping in front of the frame themselves.
2018
Temporada de chicasTo understand contemporary Argentine cinema you have to start in the 1960s, when filmmakers such as Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, David Kohon, Manuel Antín, Rodolfo Kuhn and Hugo Santiago were searching for new forms.
2017
Double bill in WiesbadenOn 7 December 2017, INVASION presented a double bill at the Caligari cinema in Wiesbaden: Lisandro Alonso's “Jauja”, awarded at Cannes in 2014, and Benjamín Naishtat's “El Movimiento”, named best film at the Mar del Plata festival in 2015.
2016
There and backThe third edition brought sixteen features and shorts to Berlin — from Ana Katz's “Mi amiga del parque” and Ariel Rotter's “La luz incidente” to Benjamín Naishtat's “El Movimiento” and Melisa Liebenthal's debut “Las Lindas”.
2015
Seven days, fifteen filmsFor seven days, seven features and eight shorts at the historic Kino Moviemento showed the stimulating and diverse state of Argentine cinema. INVASION is a celebration — and a stocktaking.
2014
The first invasionIn September 2014, Argentine culture — led by cinema — visited the German capital. Starting from ten films, cultural activities took place across the city for an entire month.
Primavera
Primavera de Documentales · onlineA week of Argentine documentary film, online across Germany — the series that grew out of the first online edition.
