TeleVisionale film festival: Weimar becomes the stage for TV stars!
When hearts beat for the film and series world, it will soon be that time again: The TeleVisionale opens its gates. From December 1st to 3rd, 2025, Weimar will be the venue for what is probably the most important film and series festival in Germany, which is not called the “German TV Oscar” for nothing. The crème de la crème of the media industry meet here and provide a comprehensive insight into current trends and first-class productions.
The birthplace of this creative work, the Bauhaus University Weimar, is playing a central role as an event partner this year. The current semester will be particularly exciting for media culture students: they can take part in a special practical module that will introduce them to TeleVisionale up close. The management is under Prof. Dr. Lorenz Engell, a renowned media scientist and professor of media philosophy at the university's media faculty.
Arrival in Weimar
Weimar itself is particularly easy to reach and is located in the middle of Germany. Whether from Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Leipzig or Frankfurt – the journey by car takes between 2 and 3.5 hours. However, visitors should note that parking options in the city center are limited. However, there is a good option to park your car in the parking garages in the center.
If you prefer a more environmentally friendly journey, you can travel comfortably by regional train. Trains run every 20 to 30 minutes from Erfurt Central Station to Weimar Central Station, from where the walk to Weimarhalle and city center is only about 15 minutes. Local public transport is also well developed: bus lines 1 to 9 take passengers from Weimar main station to the city center to sights such as the Congress Centrum Weimarhalle and the German National Theater.
Future prospects for students
The TeleVisionale not only offers exciting insights for those interested in film, but also a valuable opportunity for media culture students to get a taste of practical experience and establish networks. Through close cooperation with the Bauhaus University, the young talents are actively involved in the festival events. This not only creates a platform for exchange between professionals and young talent, but also a memorable experience that further fuels creativity and passion for film and television.
