All screening facilities of the EFM are wheelchair accessible with the exception of the Cinemobile and CinemaxX 2.

Please find the overview on all cinemas and studios here.

All of EFM venues are wheelchair accessible except of the former producers hub on the second floor that will be used again for similar purposes. The Gropius Bau will be modernised as of 2025 and it is planned to make the Producers & Projects Hub on the 2nd floor accessible at that time. We have also looked into the possibility of installing a temporary wheelchair lift on one side of the stairs, but unfortunately, for various technical reasons, this does not seem to be possible. As such, unfortunately this issue remains.

For all other venues whose infrastructure was not originally designed to be accessible, we will have ramps on site to make them wheelchair accessible.

For Berlinale tickets the Berlinale Inclusion Desk takes care of bookings for handicap admission.They also have an email address: which you can contact in this regard.

Please visit our Accessibility website for more detailed information.

2) Berlinale Kindergarten

The crèche will be open to children from 6 months to 6 years up to 5 hours per day from Feb 13 - 22. We will have professional, trained, and multilingual nannies taking care of your children and making the Berlinale worth their while too. Make sure to pre-register your child for a time slot.

Who can register for the Berlinale Kids Package?

Accredited professionals with a valid market badge, festival or press accreditation.

Does the kids package cost anything?

A service charge of €50 is to be paid upon receipt of your invoice after you have registered your child.

To register for the Berlinale Kids Package, we will provide a link and a deadline in the next days here.

Step 2: Pre-Book Time-Slots for the Berlinale Kindergarten

REGISTRATION

Must my child have a badge?

If you choose to bring your child with you, they are welcome to accompany you without obtaining a KidsBadge. However, the KidsBadge is required for access to the Berlinale Kindergarten and to register caregivers to provide supervision for your child while you are unable to do so. Please note that the KidsBadge is only available for children up to 12 years of age.

Does the accompanying caretaker need a badge?

The caretaker will not be provided with a badge. However, you must pre-register the accompanying caretaker through the registration form in advance. The caretaker's name will also appear on the back of the kid's badge.

The Kindergarten is not within any Berlinale venues, so no accreditation is needed to access it. However, in order to enter the EFM & Press locations, the caretakers' names will appear on lists at the access container (Gropius Bau) and the Info Counter (Marriott Hotel). Our staff will then hand out entry tokens to the caretakers.

How can I give specific Instructions about my kid’s needs to the childcare?

With the dedicated registration form, you can provide details about food, care, health, and sleeping time. The Nanny team will review it and ask any questions if needed.

What if I pay for the service and end up not using it?

Unfortunately, we will not be managing reimbursements after you have paid for your child's badge.

BERLINALE KINDERGARTEN

Where is the Berlinale Kindergarten located?

The Berlinale Kindergarten is conveniently located around Potsdamer Platz, next to 'The Playce', the former Potsdamer Platz Arcaden. The exact address will be provided upon confirmation of registration. The Kindergarten is not within any Berlinale venues, so no accreditation is required in order to get to the Kindergarten.

What are the opening hours of the Berlinale Kindergarten?

The Berlinale Kindergarten will be open daily from February 13 to 22 between 10 am and 7 pm.

Will there be catering at the Berlinale Kindergarten?

No, we will have some snacks and fruits available, but we unfortunately cannot provide full-scale catering. We kindly ask that you prepare lunch boxes for your child.

How does the allocation of time slots work?

Please send us your preferred time slots and we'll do our best to accommodate them. Our schedule operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to send us your preferences as soon as possible. We'll do our best to offer you your desired slots, but please note that we may not be able to guarantee them during peak times. Please ensure that you adhere to the specified timeslots as we are unable to accommodate deviations from the schedule. This may differ from the flexibility you have experienced in previous educational settings.

Can I have a meeting at the Berlinale Kindergarten?

No.

My child is ill, can I still take him/her to the Kindergarten?

To ensure the health and safety of all children and staff, children who are experiencing any signs of illness are not permitted to attend the Berlinale Kindergarten. In the event that a child is unable to visit the facility due to illness please contact the Kids Coordinator as soon as possible. If a child becomes ill or unwell while in our care, the legal guardians or caretakers will be contacted immediately and the child needs to be collected within 60 minutes.

Please be advised that your child will be required to undergo a COVID-19 test upon arrival at the kindergarten. In order to proceed, a consent form needs to be signed with your contact information. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we are unable to make exceptions in this matter.
