Freiburg­er Filmforum
27.5–1.6.2025

Dear Film Enthu­si­asts, get your cal­en­dars out and look for­ward to a fes­ti­val week filled with high-qual­i­ty films, engag­ing exchanges, and fes­ti­val atmos­phere! From May 27 to June 1, 2025, the Freiburg­er Film­fo­rum Fes­ti­val of Tran­scul­tur­al Cin­e­ma [1] will take place at the Kom­mu­nales Kino Freiburg. With numer­ous guests
and an exten­sive accom­pa­ny­ing pro­gram, we are cel­e­brat­ing a dou­ble anniver­sary: 40 years of the Film­fo­rum and the 10th anniver­sary of our Stu­dents’ Platform.

The fes­ti­val address­es both con­tem­po­rary and his­tor­i­cal, socio-polit­i­cal and cul­tur­al top­ics, aim­ing to inspire aes­thet­ic and the­o­ret­i­cal engage­ment with diver­si­ty and cul­tur­al dif­fer­ence. At the heart of the fes­ti­val are in-depth film dis­cus­sions between the audi­ence and the film­mak­ers or protagonists.

Young per­spec­tives shape the Stu­dents’ Plat­form. The over­whelm­ing response to the Call for Entries promis­es a rich pro­gram that is right on the pulse of the times. With the focus „Resound­ing Resis­tance,” the fes­ti­val will par­tic­u­lar­ly hon­or works that have emerged under the com­plex con­di­tions of threat, vio­lence, and displacement.

The Ate­liers Varan [2], co-ini­ti­at­ed by Jean Rouch in Paris, have been orga­niz­ing doc­u­men­tary film work­shops world­wide since the ear­ly 1980s. In the main pro­gram, the Film­fo­rum will present a char­ac­ter­is­tic selec­tion of films pro­duced in the „Ate­liers” ? simul­ta­ne­ous­ly in Freiburg and at the Tashkent Film School [3] in Uzbekistan.

For all ear­ly birds, there is a dis­count­ed tick­et avail­able for ?55 [4] until mid-Feb­ru­ary! You can find infor­ma­tion regard­ing accom­mo­da­tions, trav­el, and tick­ets on our web­site under „Ser­vice”. We are hap­py to assist excur­sion groups in find­ing a place to sleep (mail to students@freiburger-filmforum.de). Stay updat­ed on Insta­gram [5] and
Face­book [6].

Let’s make the cin­e­ma a vibrant place of encounter and exchange. We look for­ward to see­ing you!
