The Cottbus Film Festival is one of the leading cultural events in Germany. For a week, Cottbus is transformed into an international metropolis - with stars and filmmakers from around the world who meet here for professional and cultural exchange. The festival program offers an annual comprehensive insight into the current film industry of the Eastern European countries.

The East-West Co-production Market Connecting Cottbus offers the world′s best opportunities for western producers to get in contact with Eastern European filmmakers and be part of their film projects from the initial idea to the finished film. Frequently these outcomes can be seen at the most renowned international film festivals.

All this can be made possible due to the reliable support of our partners from the industry, business and cultural sector. Thanks to your contribution, the Film Festival Cottbus was able to provide great diversity in its program and extent its potential.
