Content Notes
FilmFest Hamburg stands for a diverse program, new perspectives, and the shared experience of cinema. Films can move us, challenge us, open up new ways of thinking, explore boundaries, and sometimes even cross them. Movies are experienced differently based on personal experiences and feelings. To fulfill its curatorial responsibility as effectively as possible, FilmFest Hamburg clearly outlines the themes and content addressed in the films in the synopses on its website and in the program booklet. In addition, Content Notes highlight content that has been identified in advance as particularly sensitive and that may be distressing or upsetting for some visitors.
The content notes are intended to help viewers make their own informed decisions about which sensitive topics they want to be exposed to at the movies. Since they may reveal parts of the plot or the film experience, it is up to each individual to decide whether to view them. We cannot guarantee that all potentially sensitive content will be fully labeled.
