Globale is a Berlin collective, made up of political activists, artists, students, filmpassionates and many more, who organize a globalization-critical film festival. Globale - as a political festival - is about more than showing films: during one week Globale fills two established Berlin cinemas and a festival center and is visited by around 4000 people each year. Films are not shown on their own but combined with discussions and workshops taking place directly after the screenings and throughout the whole week. In addition to the Berlin location several films are going to be screened in a number of other German cities afterwards. Every year we focus on 5–6 subjects that we find to be politically important in the context of globalization and that we discuss in greater detail. These could include the following: G8, religion, sexual violence, privatization, migration, media and power relations, racism, global working conditions, etc.
