The open-air festival summer at PopUp Autokino München is going into its next round. While “Lord & Schlumpfi – The Long Way to Wacken” is likely to test the limits of many a car radio, “Exit” blurs the boundaries between reality and simulation. As with all world premieres, you can count on the stars of the films to attend.

True to the traditional motto of summer, sun, and Munich, the new FILMFEST MÜNCHEN POP-UP format will celebrate both film and summer in the city in July and August 2020. In cooperation with the PopUp Autokino München drive-in theater and the Kino am Olympiasee, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN will present seven brand-new films and series in the open air — all of them world premieres attended by special guests. Whether from a car seat or a deck chair, the focus of all the events is the shared analog experience of film in the urban space of the city of Munich.

Particularly in a year like this one, it is our shareholders and our numerous partners, most of whom have been with us for many years, who make it possible for FILMFEST MÜNCHEN to be held and for the city to experience a revival of arts and culture. “We’d like to thank our long-standing, loyal partners and all those who are supporting us in making it possible this year to hold cultural events again,” says festival director Diana Iljine.

This year, both Senta Berger and Robin Wright will be honored with the CineMerit Award for their achievements in the art of film. Other honorees will include Franka Potente (Margot Hielscher Award) and Małgorzata Szumowska (tribute).
