World premieres, premieres, award ceremonies. Sunday had everything to offer! The two first big events at the Deutsches Theater also had plenty to look forward to. In the evening, Jessica Lange was presented with the CineMerit Award of the Munich International Film Festival. She also presented her new film THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL. It was awesome!

Premieres, flashbulbs and star-studded crowds. The Munich International Film Festival is in full swing and we are once again delighted to be able to share the most exciting and beautiful moments of the day with you. One of these moments was certainly the audience premiere of the German comedy TWO TO ONE with director and screenwriter Natja Brunckhorst, as well as Sandra Hüller, Max Riemelt, Ronald Zehrfeld, Ursula Werner, Peter Kurth and many more.

Despite some bad weather on Tuesday, there was plenty to see again! Among other things, our second CineMerit award ceremony for Kate Winslet, who, in addition to her CineWave, was able to celebrate a very touching reunion with David Kross in the evening at the Deutsches Theater. But you can see what other highlights the day had to offer here!

It doesn't stop with the visit of Hollywood greats! On Wednesday, Viggo Mortensen visited the Amerikahaus with his co-star Solly McLeod to talk about his new film THE DEAD DON'T HURT. But, of course, there were also many other great moments on this day, and you can see the best ones here!
