Overview
The 11th annual Festival of German Films will screen 37 films at the Chauvel and Palace Norton Street, highlighting the breadth and diversity of contemporary German filmmaking.
With a long cinematic history spanning as far back as the Weimar silent film era to Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Wim Wenders in the 1970s and '80s, plus films like Goodbye Lenin! and The Lives of Others in more recent years, Germany has some of the richest and most diverse films in the world. And this festival makes sure Sydney can get a taste.
Among the most anticipated of the festival's films are Hotel Lux, a satire set in the 1930s dealing with Stalinist Russia and the rise of Nazism, and Combat Girls, a confronting film about a woman who's involvement with a neo-Nazi gang exposes the lives of those trapped in racial hatred.
