Berlinale 2023 is meat- and dairy-free
After the Berlinale has been largely meat-free since 2020, dairy products will also be eliminated in 2023. All official festival events of the International Film Festival will feature vegan coffee specialties and ice cream from Oatly. Catering will also be exclusively meat-free.
The International Film Festival Berlin is, for the first time, forgoing animal products at all official festival events. Meat-free dishes are also being served at the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
