ABOUT US

It's the time to announce the films for this year. Before the film list, allow me to thank our colleagues, our supporters, our sponsors. And hope that all of you will keep safe during the fall call and the awards ceremony in December. 

 We are about to have our live festival yet again and we are very excited to bring great films from all over the world. Films let us to learn, connect with each other, and make our inner world rich. We have always had a great time with the filmmakers' ability to tell impressive stories, and our job is to find and satisfy their audience. 

 So far this year, we have received 208 submissions for films covering war and peace, women rights, and environmental protection etc. The films presented form a series of fascinating and moving storylines. It is gratifying that there are many films from Asia this year, some of which reflect the mountain culture, and some reflect the spirit of a city. It is worth mentioning that we have paid attention to Hong Kong, a distant eastern city. There are some different point of views about the same topic, such as "Spring, seeing Hong Kong again" and "Hong kong-Eine Stadt im Widerstand", which is an interesting thing. The final decision of the jury, and truly embodies the values ​​that our festival has never abandoned. Thanks to the hard work of the strong selection team. 

 As was expected, our judging process was tough, and that's what we had to go through every year.
