In the heart of Berlin’s Neukölln, a new space is coming to life. Located in what was once a brothel, it is a place of wild ideas and primal courage. w o l f engages with cinema and aims to be a home and a learning ground for film in all its forms, stemming from a desire to adapt theatrical exhibition to today’s demands. It’s a social meeting point in a space of 360 square metres.

w o l f is currently in the final phase of financing before construction can begin, but ready to receive guests in a raw but welcoming space. Its founder Verena v. Stackelberg and her team have joined forces with crowdfunding platform KissKissBankBank to fill the remaining financial gap. With a very successful party we celebrated the kick off of the campaign on February 8th. A vast variety of about 350 guests from the local and international film scene and from the neighbourhood helped us to an impressive start. Now the project can be supported until the 8th of April here:

the future film terrain of wolf
Next to the generously sized café-bar, two state-of-the art screening rooms (each with 50 seats) invite viewers to discover films. The programme strives to be innovative and integrative. Under the same roof in the annexe, a third flexible screening and exhibition space (40 seats) offers room for installations of the moving image, workshops, talks and events. w o l f also offers production facilities such as editing and colour grading suites to filmmakers and those who wish to learn more about the subject. Filmmaking and film programming are combined increase the understanding of what it means to produce, shoot and show films.

In its current pre-construction state, w o l f is already hosting temporary events which have experienced a motivating, welcoming reception

wolf‘s vision
All over the world, there is a blossoming of small, intimate screening rooms that are creating space for engaging initiatives and innovative programmes. w o l f firmly believes in this movement and that audiences need to be included in the process of cinema- and film-making through a multidisciplinary approach. w o l f is not trying to dictate its programme through hierarchies but is searching for exchange on eye-level with all those involved, for example through filmmakers and neighbours in residence, joint meals, youth work, collaborative events, international networks and, crucially, embracing online platforms. w o l f’s doors are wide open.
The full circle, from idea to screening the finished film, is realised at w o l f. Through this circle, a new space can come to life where enjoyment of – and passion for film can be shared in a pack and will allow us to conquer new creative perspectives.
