DFFB Films at the 53rd Inter­na­tion­al Hof Film Fes­ti­val

This year—like pre­vi­ous years—several DFFB films will screen at the 53rd Inter­na­tion­al Hof Film Fes­ti­val, one of the old­est and most impor­tant film fes­ti­vals in Ger­many:

1986 (Dir./Script: Lothar Her­zog, Cin­e­matog­ra­phy: Philipp Baben der Erbe, Prod.: Romana Janik, Ben­ny Drech­sel) will screen in the fea­ture film com­pe­ti­tion sec­tion. 1986 won the NO FEAR Award at First Steps and cel­e­brat­ed its world pre­miere at the 15th Zurich Film Fes­ti­val.

Chichinette — How I Acci­den­tal­ly Became a Spy (Dir./Script: Nico­la Alice Hens, Prod.: Amos Geva), which just won the Spe­cial Men­tion Award at the 35th HAIFA Inter­na­tion­al Film Fes­ti­val, will screen in the doc­u­men­tary com­pe­ti­tion sec­tion.

Both films will cel­e­brate their Ger­man pre­miere at the fes­ti­val.

Four short films from the DFFB will also be pre­sent­ed:

CHAOS (Dir./Script/Prod.: Samuel Auer, Cin­e­matog­ra­phy: Lukas Eylandt)

REVOLVO (Dir./Script: Fran­cy Fab­ritz, Cin­e­matog­ra­phy: Anto­nia Lange, Prod.: Sara Fazi­lat).

And our alum­ni will be present at the fes­ti­val too: Con­nie Walther with her film DIE RÜDEN. Der Film, Flo­ri­an Aign­er with ImNie­mand­s­land, and Jan Speck­en­bach with A.N.N.A.
