get to know Filmfest
2022
A sea of possibilities
Radical, experimental, surprising, and going against the grain, the ten current productions in the new CineRebels competition push the envelope of storytelling in film and even reinvent cinema to a certain extent. At the end of the festival, a three-member jury will select the recipient of the 10,000-euro CineRebels Award, sponsored by AUDI.
The Filmfest juries
In 2022, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN will again be presenting several lucrative awards —in the CineMasters, CineVision, New German Cinema, and New German Television Productions sections as usual. This year, however, these will be joined by two new awards: in the CineRebels section and at the KINDERFILMFEST, with its own award, the CineKindl.
IN A GALAXY NOT THAT FAR AWAY ...
Some of the films at this year’s edition of the Filmfest incorporate elements of science fiction and fantasy. This time it’s not spaceships or superheroes, but clones, cyborgs, and parallel planes of existence that the filmmakers have worked into seemingly everyday scenarios.
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
Crises, conflicts, catastrophes: when cultures collide, it’s common for confrontations to occur. Culture clash in cinema can be controversial, but it can also be keenly comical and conducive to cooperation, as is conspicuous in the cornucopia of films at the 39th FILMFEST MÜNCHEN.
I is someone else
Tonight, Dominik Graf’s new TV movie SHADOWS OF THE PAST premieres at the Gloria Palast. It’s an artfully layered puzzle straddling different timelines, in which the question of true identity leads to surprising answers. Additionally, PERFORMER by Oliver Grüttner will be screened today for the first time. In this film, a teenager toys with the idea of going on a killing spree — but does he really want to do that? And who exactly is Rose in SECRET NAME?
