We’re off to a comical and culinary start. FILMFEST MÜNCHEN will open this year with KAISERSCHMARRNDRAMA, the eagerly awaited latest installment in the series of detective films about village cop Franz Eberhofer. This cult series began its journey at FILMFEST MÜNCHEN in 2013. Now it's returned to the festival.

At this year’s open-air edition of FILMFEST MÜNCHEN, the festival will honor four great women who have played a major role in shaping international cinema both in front of and behind the camera.

Generational conflicts, existential crises, and risky decisions are the themes of the current crop of exciting domestically produced made-for-television films which FILMFEST MÜNCHEN will be presenting in its New German TV Movies section.

Films that explore the possibility of the here and now, even if they do sometimes have a historical underpinning: The section New German Cinema will be showing 14 German productions as world premieres. 

KINDERFILMFEST MÜNCHEN, our section for young audiences, invites you to an open-air festival for the whole family. The live-action adaptation of the classic children’s book LAURA’S STAR will open this section of the film festival as its world premiere. With Tobias Krell as its new director, a series for young adults in the line-up, and an online workshop for school classes, the Kinderfilmfest is also breaking new ground.

“Checker Tobi” is the new program director of KINDERFILMFEST MÜNCHEN.
