By Jessica Herndon

We may have just wrapped an unforgettable 2026 Sundance Film Festival, but the global festival circuit for Sundance Institute-supported cinema is just getting started as the 76th Berlin International Film Festival kicks off today.

Running February 12-22, the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival, also known as the Berlinale, will host premieres and screenings across Berlin, and we're proud to see 18 projects in this year's lineup that were championed by the Sundance Institute.

Among the titles showing in Berlin are Beth de Ara jo's Josephine, the winner of both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic and the Audience Award: U.S. Dramatic, starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan; Jason Osder and William Lafi Youmans' Who Killed Alex Odeh?, which received the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Journalistic Excellence; and Aidan Zamiri's The Moment, starring Charli xcx.

Below, explore the Sundance Institute-supported films screening at Berlinale that premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, past Fests, or were nurtured through our artist programs, including the Screenwriters and Directors Labs, Catalyst program, and Feature Film and Documentary Film Program.
