Cinema for everyone
FILMFEST HAMBURG is a film festival for the public, frequented by more than 40,000 cinema fans every year. Over the course of ten days in autumn, around 140 national and international feature films and documentaries are shown on eleven screens for their world premiere, European premiere or German premiere.
In twelve permanent and annually changing sections, the programme ranges from cinematically sophisticated arthouse films and innovative mainstream cinema to a colourful film and events programme for the youngest cinema visitors.
As a platform for cultural exchange and dialogue, a large number of the films are presented in person by the film creators in Hamburg. Numerous events make FILMFEST HAMBURG an important meeting point for cinema enthusiasts and the film industry alike.
Albert Wiederspiel has been the Festival Director since 2003.
