This year marks the 10th annual Final Girls Berlin Film Festival, a trailblazing festival showcasing the work of women and nonbinary folks in the genre space. Between talks, workshops, features and over 11 different shorts blocks, Final Girls Berlin 2025 is a feast. I was lucky enough to cover a few of the shorts blocks, including the “Life Cycles” block, for MovieJawn:
“The sixth block is centered around life cycles because if there is a truth to this universe, it is that it is relentlessly cyclical. Energy and time is in constant motion as we continuously orbit through space, as the moon waxes and wanes, the tides turn, and we experience birth and rebirth, life and death. Pairing beautifully with the themes of day two’s double feature of Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance and Sasha Rainbow’s Grafted, these six shorts tease out the existential uneasiness we feel towards our reality.”
