Audi Festival of German Films
Hallo! Guten tag! … that, plus ‘pretzel’ and ‘lager’, is the extent of my knowledge of the German language, but if you’re a little more schooled than I am, you’ll definitely get a kick out of the Festival of German Films.
Overview
Hallo! Guten tag! … that, plus ‘pretzel’ and ‘lager’, is the extent of my knowledge of the German language, but if you’re a little more schooled than I am, you’ll definitely get a kick out of the Festival of German Films.
Now in its 10th year jubilee, this year’s Festival is going to be the biggest one yet, running for six days and showing 20 feature-length films and 13 short films to inspire you, excite you, make you laugh and make you cry.
The Festival opens with Goethe!, a Shakespearian-romance-type film based on the 18th century poet Johann Goethe, who feels suffocated and failed in his work until he lays eyes on the beautiful, independent Lotte Buff.
If the $40 price tag can’t entice you into the Festival’s opening night, then other titles like Emma’s Bliss, Sasha, Close To You and Vincent Wants To Sea will ensure you get an appropriate dose of Deutsch audiovisual goodness throughout the week.
Psst… film of note: Keep Surfing on Friday night - director/screenwriter/producer/multi-tasking legend Björn Richie Lob will be talking about the surf doco before and after its screening. What’s ‘gnarly’ in German?
