Salsa Film Festival

Salsa Film Festival — Cinema Beyond Words
From November 12 to 15, 2025, the Salsa Film Festival brings dialog-free cinema to the heart of Weimar. For four days, films from around the world take center stage — telling stories through images, sound, and creativity alone.

Open to all ages — children, teens, adults, and immigrants — the festival creates a shared space where language is no barrier and stories speak universally.

With special screenings for kids and adults, the Salsa Film Festival invites everyone to experience film in its purest, most visual form — connecting people across cultures, without saying a word.

■ Production country: worldwide.
■ Language: dialogue-free.
■ Category: all genres such as documentary, feature film, animation, etc.

*The content should positively engage children from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We are looking for films that serve as strong role models for all children and do not include gender-specific, racist, or cultural stereotypes and prejudices.
