Evaluation The most significant and most active festival in the presentation of American independent films, and therefore the appropriate platform for an expansion into the German-speaking market. In other ways as well, the festival devotes itself to independent film. Up-and-coming German creative talents are regularly in attendance here. A pleasant and laid-back festival with a lively atmosphere.
