Radio Spaetkauf is the news podcast for Berlin's international residents. Every two weeks, they bring you a short summary of local Berlin news in English, and on this weekend it will be recorded live from Lakeside Film Festival.

Ever wondered what role you’d play in a movie, or how your life might look through another character’s eyes? 

Join us for a creative 90-120 minute workshop “Rewriting Your Story: Exploring Roles with Psychodrama”. Using psychodrama techniques, we’ll explore the roles you play in your life, just like your favorite characters on screen. No previous psychodrama experience is needed.

Test your drinking skills and join us for the Beerpong tournament.

Whether you're in it to win or just here for the fun, all skill levels are welcome. Bring a teammate, grab a drink, and see who takes the crown.

This year at Lakeside, we'll host a yoga session on both Saturday and Sunday mornings at 10am—so don't forget to bring your yoga mat!

“obVErsed” by iana Konopatova (iKona)

"The city is a living organism, constantly interacting with people—observing, reacting. This work explores the connection between the urban environment and its inhabitants, making this dialogue tangible. The watching eyes in the open window come to life with the movement of passersby through an optical illusion, creating the effect of a living gaze. It is not just observation—it is an invitation to feel that the city, too, is watching, present, responsive. Where is the boundary between observer and observed when the gaze becomes mutual?"

At this year’s festival, she36 (@she36_) will be hosting a bicycle repair workshop on site. Visitors arriving by bike are invited to stop by and learn a thing or two, all while connecting with others over shared cycling culture!
