Radical and brave selection Each year we comb very carefully - and it is quite a large comb - through the entire new production of arthouse films by newcomers. Some 2,500 of these films are viewed and judged by our scouts and staff, numerous tips are gathered, resulting in an overview that an individual film buyer, for example, cannot acquire or organise due to restrictions of both time and human resources. In a very careful final selection we then choose, from a pool of some 700 feature films, those 35 to 40 films that we present to you - in the »International Competition« and in the »International Discoveries« programme.
60,000 people attend screenings in Mannheim and Heidelberg, Germany.
In addition to discovering new international filmmakers, festival goers experience panel discussions with the filmmakers and industry figures and parties celebrating the Festival community. During the history of the festival, debut features of now famous directors such as Jim Jarmusch (1980), Thomas Vinterberg (1997), Bryan Singer (1993), Atom Egoyan (1984), Francois Truffaut (1959), Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1969), Wim Wenders (1969), Krzyszof Kieslowski (1975), Lars von Trier (1984), Matias Bize (2003) or Rahmin Bahrani (2005) were first introduced to an international public. |
