 - A 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞: Every year we honor an internationally established director with the screening of his/her debut film;

 - 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨, a film concert: A multimedia event dedicated to re-interpret and re-discover silent films from the past century through contemporary experimental music;

 - 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚, a selection of short films with a focus on a country or topic.

 - 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀, in collaboration with Filmnetzwerk.

 Visionär seeks to reach film lovers of all generations, to assemble a wide range of experiences, stories and aesthetics without being tied to specific thematic selection criteria. On the contrary, the chosen films generate points of friction that are both aesthetically and content-conscious: they are diverse, heterogeneous, sometimes contradictory, always surprising and therefore very exciting. Once again, they show the diversity of the medium of film.

 Visionär believes and respects gender equality and gender inclusivity in its selection.
