This was the premiere!
Berlin is defined by the creativity being spread by its community – and so is Forward Festival. In a way, these two were always meant to be – both are based on a community thriving on creativity and always moving ahead.
Capturing the city’s energy, the premiere of Forward Festival Berlin delivered an on-site program full of highlights: more than 15 speakers live on stage from local to international heavyweights of the creative industries, exclusive side-events, happenings, audio-visual performances and much more brought encounters full of creativity.
For this special occasion, Forward went DAY and NIGHT: 13 hours of non-stop creativity from afternoon until the morning after are aiming to unite industry-leading and aspiring creatives.

The Venue
BABYLON
Babylon is THE cinema at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin Mitte neighborhood, opposite to the Volksbühne. Built in 1929, the cinema is typical for its construction period ‘Neue Sachlichkeit’. It’s one of the oldest cinemas in Berlin and serves as arthouse cinema, as well as a venue for the Berlinale and musical and literary cultural events.
The cinema combines the benefits of a decent atmosphere, architectural details and the qualities of a diverse venue with lots of room for the attendees.
