Audi Festival of German Films

Overview

There seems to be a distinct love for International Film in Australia. Each year there is a plethora of well attended film festivals offering insights into nations like France, Mexico, Italy and the latest event to hit Brisbane, the German Film Festival. With a diversity of films in genre and theme, there is something to suit all tastes.

The festival opens with the psychological drama Cracks in the Shell a story about a young actress in Berlin and her efforts to get noticed. There is also the sad but enlightening story Wunderkinder, a historic drama about music and its power in pre-world war II Germany.

It’s not all drama though, there is a touch of the love in Three, a film about a bored couple entering the risqué world of ménage a trois! But don’t worry, a good chuckle has not been forgotten, The Fraulein and the Sandman will have audiences laughing at the story of about a man who is turning into sand!

These descriptions just scrape the surface of the variety of films being shown. There is a film for all, and each one offers audiences a little adventure in Germany without leaving the comfort of a cinema seat!
