Hollywood star Kate Winslet receives the CineMerit Award and presents her latest film LEE in Munich. Patrick Heidmann spoke to her about the biopic.

Warm-up Day on Friday, June 28, to get in the mood for the 41st FILMFEST MÜNCHEN!

At FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2024, highly endowed prizes will once again be awarded. This requires competent jury members. The CineCoPro Jury and the Young Jury are also new. All jury members introduce themselves.

Democracy is under pressure: Across Europe, and even in Germany, far-right populists have been elected to parliaments, spreading ideas that violate human dignity and using social media to amplify them. This comes at a time when the last witnesses to the Holocaust are dying off. The MUNICH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL is therefore clearly positioning itself in favor of diversity of opinion, tolerance and open-mindedness.

For three days in June and July, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN transforms the Deutsches Theater into the city's largest cinema and presents four spectacular events with international stars.

The 16 films in the New German Cinema section revolve around a wide variety of interpersonal constellations — from intimate family relationships to grand designs for society.
