Avant Première Is Coming Back to Berlin
Avant Première returns, from 14 to 18 February 2026! Save the date and join us next year at Hotel Scandic Potsdamer Platz for four days of music + dance screenings, conference, and networking.
Preparations are already underway, and this time you have the chance to co-create the programme. Let us know which topics, formats, and speakers you'd like to see at the next year's conference, and we'll help you make it a reality.
We invite proposals that spotlight technological, financial, artistic, or organisational developments in the field of audiovisual performing arts. Share your topic ideas for panel discussions, presentations, keynotes, or entirely new formats, and have them become part of next year's programme!
