Twin Cities German Film Festival

November 6-9, 2025


“Home in Motion”
This year’s Twin Cities German Film Festival invites audiences to explore stories of belonging, identity, and reinvention. Home isn’t always a place, it’s a journey and this year’s films revolves around characters in motion: across borders, through grief, toward connection, and into self-discovery.

The witty political satire Bon Schuur Ticino (Bonjour Switzerland) cleverly unpacks the tensions and absurdities of identity in a nation suddenly lost in translation. Bagger Drama (Excavator Drama) turns the familiar landscape of a family business into an emotional excavation site, where love and loss reshape the meaning of home. Alles Fifty-Fifty (Everything’s Fifty Fifty) finds humor and warmth in the chaos of co-parenting, reminding us that even the most fractured families can rediscover balance. In Ellbogen (Ellbow), a young woman’s desperate flight from Berlin to Istanbul becomes a powerful search for dignity and belonging in a world that too often shuts her out. And in the tender coming-of-age tale Zirkuskind (Circusboy), an eleven-year-old growing up among performers and animals learns that freedom and family come in many forms.

Together, these films trace the shifting borders that define modern life – linguistic, emotional, and cultural. At this year’s Twin Cites German Film Festival, we celebrate the courage to rebuild, the humor to adapt, and the heart to find home wherever the journey leads.
