At the Five Flavours Festival, a booking system is in place for screenings for holders of festival passes and on-site accreditations. We aim to prevent overcrowding and avoid queues at the entrance.
Only a booking guarantees you a seat at the screening!
The booking system is very simple and works similarly to buying single tickets – once logged into your account, just go to the page of the selected film and click "book". Detailed information can be found here:
booking rules
Please book only the screenings you plan to attend. A booking can be cancelled even at the last moment – please remember to always cancel your booking if you decide not to attend the screening. This allows other viewers to take the available seat.
Making bookings will be possible from Tuesday, November 11, at 12:00, for all festival days at once.
booking seats for holders of
passes and accreditations, starts:
Tuesday, November 11, 12:00
If you decide to attend a screening at the last minute or for some reason do not make a booking in advance, and there are still available seats in the cinema, a booking will be created “automatically” upon entry, after scanning your pass. For most screenings, seats will still be available right before the show. However, please pay special attention to screenings of films shown exclusively in cinemas – we expect the highest attendance for these.
To book a seat and enter the screening, simply use your electronic pass and show it to the ushers on your phone screen. You have received the link to your electronic pass by email. The pass can also be opened in your user profile after logging in to the festival website.

Film description
Rehana is a tough and uncompromising teacher at the Medical Academy in Dhaka. Struggles with reality are her daily bread – she single-handedly raises her little daughter and supports the family. One day she witnesses her superior molesting one of the students. Punishing the perpetrator becomes her life mission and she will readily push boundaries and make sacrifices to achieve it. But will the institution that she is a part of let her bring the guilty man to justice?
Rehana embarks on an angry journey through a labyrinth of corridors, offices and classrooms. The camera tries to keep up with her, cornering her in the narrow, dark-blue frames, creating an emotionless record of her lonely mission. Made with a distressing tremor, reminiscent of the best achievements of Iranian cinema, "Rehana" is an outstanding, fascinating portrait of a heroine that is nowhere near perfect.
With his second film, tense like a full-blooded thriller, Saad confirms that he is an incredibly talented artist with a critical outlook on the everyday reality of his country. But the success of the film would not be possible without Badhon, who resembles a bullet shot with great power towards the corrupt system and the indifferent society.
