🏆 Professional jury evaluation after each screening

Special atmosphere

The rural setting provides the perfect backdrop for intense discussions, creative inspiration and genuine encounters. The focus here is not on commerce, but on a passion for authentic filmmaking.

A festival for everyone who understands cinema as an art form and wants to meet like-minded creative people in a relaxed atmosphere.

    Our piece of Music Video C-Fix Nix neis pretty much fits to the event. Unfortunately the band and me couldn't make it there. Nevertheless we feel still very honoured that we took part in the festival. Thank you.

  • Our film "Killings of the century" is selected for the 2024 event. We are grateful to be selected by this highly selective film festival. Killings of the century is a documentary about 20th century genocides. It is a topic not many would talk about. Thank you for selecting our film.
