VISION OF OUR FUTURE was the motto of the 18th FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS Berlin. Meaningful images by several artists powerfully bundled the message of the future on the most famous of Berlin’s landmarks, the Brandenburg Gate. Among others, three renowned Ukrainian video studios were invited. They created their visions for the future exclusively for the festival.
Even in today’s difficult times, we see the future of humanity in a positive light. But what choices will lead us to that tomorrow? The show reveals the basic, most necessary building blocks for the progress and prosperity of human civilisation and foreshadows its future shape. Take a look through the gateway to the future!

This year, in keeping with the festival motto “Connecting Cultures,” the Brandenburg Gate was transformed into a place where diverse cultures meet. In a seven-minute projection, MP Studio took the audience on a breathtaking journey around the world, underlining the beauty of cultures through art, music and nature.
The word “love” could be read on the Berlin landmark in all the languages of the world. As a symbol of peaceful unity and a successful connection of different cultures, the Brandenburg Gate thus perfectly reflected this year’s motto “Connecting Cultures.” The staging was designed by Birgit Zander – artistic director of the festival – together with Daniel Bandke. Share LOVE AND LIGHT!
