This event welcomes everyone to participate

Four years after the paper “Frankfurt Positions” was written at the Lichter Filmfest, the deficits in film funding (in Germany) have not been remedied, but have become even worse, partly as a result of the pandemic. Many film associations are demanding that the film funding system needs to be reinvented and the FFG (Film Funding Law) has to be rewritten.

Before we start to rewrite the white sheet, we discuss with filmmakers, producers, distributors and cinema curators from different European countries which aspects of their respective national film funding systems are working well. What can we learn from each other in order to create a cinephile film funding system for the future?

Since 2019, the Hauptverband Cinephilie stands for filmpolitical discourse and a cross-disciplinary representation of interests. We are looking forward to further develope the ideas formulated in the “Frankfurt Positions” and at HVC (www.hvcinephilie.de) - and invite you to a get-together with drinks afterwards from 7pm!
