Like Munich’s main film festival, KINDERFILMFEST MÜNCHEN (June 24 – July 1) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. As usual, a diverse selection of films is on offer. The children’s program starts off with a large dose of mischief from the heart of Munich, as sassy, red-haired PUCK THE KOBOLD returns to the big screen. And alongside a range of films for children, the selection for teenagers and young adults is being expanded.

To shorten the wait for the Kinderfilmfest, a special screening of the live-action adaptation of THE LITTLE MERMAID will be held (in cooperation with Disney) at the Mathäser Filmpalast on May 28.

The turquoise Isar Carpets have barely been rolled up when the cinema summer enters the next round. In cooperation with Kino am Königsplatz, organised by Kinoliebe, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN presents two extraordinary open-air events. A special highlight: UK star Charles Dance, known from the HBO fantasy series “Game Of Thrones”, in the role of Lord Tywin Lannister, will personally attend the screening of his new film “Rumours” at Königsplatz.  

Welcome to the highlights of the last day of the 41st Munich International Film Festival! Although the festival was slowly coming to an end, there were still some wonderful moments that are worth sharing. It's a shame that it's already over, but of course we're already looking forward to the next edition! Thanks to everyone who made it an unforgettable festival!
