Accessibility

Under the Motto "Cinema for all", the Nordic Film Days want to break down existing barriers and make the festival more inclusive. To invite as wide an audience as possible to participate in culture, the following offers are available for this year's edition of the festival:

• Sensitive content (content notes) is indicated for relevant films. A list of all sensitive content can be found here.
• In addition to cinema screenings, a selection of films from the 67th Nordic Film Days Lübeck are also available as video-on-demand streaming and can be rented for a fee from the start of the festival until Sunday, 16 November 2025. This represents around 60% of the programme. Available films can be found using the film search function and are presented with subtitles and, where applicable, audio description (Young Audience section). The films can only be streamed in Germany (‘geo-blocking’). Free registration is required. 
• The catalogue is available as an accessible PDF file that is suitable for voice output. The catalogue can be printed on demand at your own expense. The journal with a programme overview will be available for download as an accessible PDF from the start of booking on 25 October 2025 at the Theater Lübeck and the festival’s venues.
