The annual festival brings together international artists, researchers, activists, and thinkers with the goal of developing new outlooks on our technological era through the entanglement of different genres and curatorial approaches. In the course of its history, transmediale has grown from its beginnings as VideoFilmFest to one of the most important events for art and digital culture worldwide.
Beyond the yearly event, transmediale is a transversal, dynamic platform with a vibrant community and a strong network that facilitates regular publications and year-round activities including commissions and a residency programme with different partner institutions. Since 2021 and for the first time in the festival’s history, transmediale runs its studio space at silent green Kulturquartier hosting different event formats and activities throughout the year.
transmediale is a project by transmediale e.V., an independent and not-for-profit cultural association based in Berlin, Germany. The association holds full organizational responsibility for the festival as well as for further programs such as the transmediale studio, publishing activities, residencies and fellowships, and more. An experienced core team manages transmediale's daily operations across production, programming, communications, finance, administration, and design, working with dedicated curatorial teams who shape each festival edition. The festival receives its main financial support from the German Federal Cultural Foundation. transmediale is furthermore structurally funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
