"Sleeping Sickness", "Jasmin", "Westwind" and "The Day I Was Not Born" introduce remarkable new talents and affirm a smart and thoughtful approach to filmmaking blossoming in Germany.
Don’t miss “Almanya”, directed by Jasemin Samdereli, a wacky German-Turkish comedy and a hit with German audiences and the spunky coming-of -age drama Lollipop Monster.
In our children’s matinee we present the family movie “Winter’s Daughter” plus the Oscar nominated short "The Gruffalo" and a panel of experts will discuss the various possibilites of getting your movie funded in Germany.
