Freiburger Filmforum 2025

In the organizer's words:

ENGLISH BELOW

Welcome to the 21st edition of the Freiburg Film Forum and to the 10th anniversary of our Students' Platform

The Freiburg Film Forum will open this year's festival week with the film DOM by Svetlana Rodina and Laurent Stoop on May 27 at 7 pm. DOM tells the story of Russian opposition members and activists who were forced to leave their country and found temporary exile in Tbilisi. The film is part of the three-part series entitled UKRAINE AND RUSSIA IN A STATE OF WAR. The two filmmakers and distributor Corinna Dästner will be at the Kommunales Kino for the film talk.

Recent political developments in Sudan and their consequences for the population are reflected in the series entitled SUDAN, REMEMBER US. The third thematic focus, SHAPES OF DEFIANCE, focuses on various forms of protest and resistance that only receive attention in the margins of mainstream news.

The series HANDS ON FILMMAKING - A STORY OF ATELIERS VARAN shows examples of committed film work. The Paris-based initiative has been training young people interested in film at various hotspots around the world for four decades. Most recently in Uzbekistan. This year, we are connecting there with a direct link to JUNCTION TASCHKENT and the film discussion with the audience there.

The STUDENTS' PLATFORM also has a highlight to celebrate this year. The 7 jury members were able to put together a total of seven programs from over 500 submissions worldwide.

Look forward with us to exciting films and a stimulating film week.
