Films galore at Hamburg
Published on
The 17th Hamburg International Film Festival (September 24-Otober 3) opens today with Fatih Akin’s new film Soul Kitchen, which was lauded at Venice at the start of the month.
The nine participating theatres will show a total of 142 films from 42 countries. Organisers have decided to extend the event by two days, until October 3.
According to festival director Albert Wiederspiel, this decision goes against the trend for downsizing but gives audiences an additional weekend to discover even more films.
