This May, the 2025 HSBC German Film Festival, presented by Palace in association with German Films, will showcase the finest contemporary German cinema, fresh from major European festivals, along with select highlights from Austria and Switzerland.

The festival offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the region’s culture, language, and storytelling. The diverse program includes auteur-driven masterpieces, box office hits, critically acclaimed works, and award-winning films, as well as a special selection for kids and families, proudly presented by the Goethe-Institut.

This edition shines a spotlight on several highly anticipated titles straight from the prestigious Berlin Film Festival,  and we can't wait to celebrate the “Meet the Director” sessions!
