The FilmFestival Cottbus team would like to thank all supporters, partners, colleagues, filmmakers and spectators who made it possible to hold our festival in 2021! We wish you happy holidays and look forward for a good 2022 and for opportunities to see and exchange ideas in person again, at the upcoming festivals, in the cinema or for a good chat over coffee.
For the FFC, the year 2021 comes to a conciliatory end. In addition to a - considering the general conditions - successful 31st FilmFestival Cottbus, we are happy with Jasmila Žbanić about the European Film Award for QUO VADIS, AIDA? (from the 2020 FFC programme) and with Juho Kuosmanen on the Golden Globe nomination for our opening film and audience and distribution award winner COMPARTMENT NO. 6. Congratulations to both filmmakers and the producers of the films!
In early 2022, we intensify scouting for the upcoming FFC, which takes place from 8-13.11.2022, and can be found - online or in person – at the filmfestivals in Saarbrücken, Trieste and at the Berlinale.
See you, stay healthy,
Your team of the FilmFestival Cottbus
