Germany has played a key role in the development of world cinema.
Its appreciative audiences encouraged film makers to experiment with content and form. From peak audiences during the immediate post war years, German Cinema experienced a downwardly tumbling roller coaster journey that is seeing a steady upturn with bigger budget films and box office friendly audiences once again. Germany is also providing production services and support to European and American productions including both cinema and TV.

At the Global Cinema Festival the Focus this year will be on Germany
and it films. To the ardent cine enthusiast this is an unmissable opportunity to update and gorge on a diverse mix of what is, perhaps,
the best of Germany.
