Evaluation The most important German fantasy film festival. This event tours eight major German cities (Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Munich, Stuttgart) and thus achieves national visitor records of up to 100,000 viewers and is covered nationwide by print and TV media. As this is strictly an audience festival, the organizers do not provide accreditation for representatives from the industry, but the event nevertheless attracts a number of buyers and distributors. Extensive media partnerships and an enormous amount of press attendance make for great publicity.

Event dates 2012:
21-29 August (Berlin)
22-29 August (Hamburg)
28 August - 5 September (Munich)
29 August - 5 September (Stuttgart)
5-12 September (Frankfurt)
