Sold-out venues, enthusiastic moviegoers, happy stars. The festival’s 41st edition, the first under the new artistic co-directorship of Christoph Gröner and Julia Weigl, was indeed a celebration of film and its ability to bring people together. Between June 28 and July 7, the festival recorded 71,000 attendances of the roughly 500 film screenings and local events. 2,600 industry professionals were accredited for the 41st Munich International Film Festival — an increase of 30 percent compared to the previous year.
