Short films, feature-length films, animated films, and documentaries: this year’s program is a colorful bouquet of cinematic styles, themes, and ideas!

The world premiere of Anna Roller’s first feature-length film, DEAD GIRLS DANCING, will be hosted with the Tribeca Festival in June 2023

The Filmfest is turning 40 this year — and our audience is the one getting the presents! For this festive occasion, we’ve put together an online review of the four decades of the Filmfest. Our team has dug through the extensive Filmfest archive and unearthed the best finds for you.

A new motif for a special anniversary!

If this isn’t a reason to celebrate: FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is now 40 years young! To mark the occasion, we’re giving you with a real eye-catcher: our brand new poster design for the festival’s anniversary edition.

In cooperation with the Alte Westend Apotheke, we will show two early works by the director and look forward to the 10th anniversary of LOVE STEAKS 2023.

In cooperation with the NS-Dokumentationszentrum München, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN will show the documentary A BREATH OF LIFE by Matteo Botrugno and Daniele Coluccini on Wednesday, December 7, at 7 pm. Admission is free. The two co-directors will be present and will have a conversation with Filmfest programmer Julia Weigl after the film.
