In cooperation with varying partners, we are also involved with other independent international film festival events around the world. The film programs vary from country to country, presenting a selection of recent feature films, documentaries, shorts, silent movies, and film classics. The festivals promote German films not only to the regular cinema-going public, but also to the international market and media.
