Filmfest Hamburg

Hamburg

5th - 12th October 2006

The aim of Filmfest Hamburg is to put cinema in the centre of things for one whole week. Especially at such a time of crisis (cinema audience numbers dropped by c. 20% in 2005), the film medium requires special attention. Filmfest Hamburg is the perfect generic campaign for cinema, for film and for film in the cinema!

Filmfest Hamburg offers an opportunity for the audience to further develop its understanding of different cultures. The multifaceted and international programme should be perceived as an enrichment of the customary, often very commercial and thus monotonous cinema programme. 

By means of the Children's Filmfest, Filmfest Hamburg aims to reach tomorrow's cinema-goers and give them a sense for cinema at a young age. Teachers, too, can make use of the Children's Filmfest as an attractive educational media supplement to the curriculum.

Categories include features, shorts and documentary many of which have not been previously shown in Germany. Formats include 16mm, 35mm, Beta SP, DigiBeta.
