BFPQ Berlin Film & Photo Quarterly
BFPQ Berlin Film & Photo Quarterly
More than a Festival. A Movement.
More Than a Festival.
A Movement.
Creativity doesn't wait. It pulses with the rhythm of the city, captures fleeting moments, and tells stories in real-time. Traditional festivals, with their annual cycles and rigid rules, can no longer keep up with this pace. We were born out of the necessity for a platform that is as fast, dynamic, and relentless as the creators it celebrates. BFPQ is not an institution. We are the pulse.
The Evolution: Monthly & Digital-First BFPQ is the answer to the wait. Because creative spaces in the city are as fleeting as a perfect shot, we have evolved. Due to the loss of our physical venue, we are embracing our digital roots fully: BFPQ is now a monthly, online-only award series.
By moving to a monthly rhythm, we break the old structures entirely. No more quarterly waits. No unnecessary hurdles. We bring your work directly to the global stage every single month—fast, accessible, and with the respect it deserves. Our unique focus remains the fusion of film and photography. We believe the line between the static and the moving image is fluid, and the most exciting stories are born in the space between.
Attitude Over Perfection We are not looking for technical perfection. We are looking for an attitude. For bold visions, honest observations, and unpolished beauty. From narrative short films that build a world in five minutes, to hard-hitting documentaries and raw street photography that turns the everyday into an art form—we are the home for visual storytelling that takes a risk. We don't have genre boundaries, only one question: Does your work have a voice?
The Challenge This is not a passive invitation. It is a challenge. To the filmmakers who use their camera like a paintbrush. To the photographers whose single images contain entire screenplays. To all the visual rebels who refuse to be put in a box. Show us your perspective on the world. Show us what only you can see.
