The FFC takes place despite Corona. How does that fit together?
We have developed a hygiene concept for the 31st FFC, which is based on the official requirements and has been agreed with the responsible offices of the city of Cottbus. For the health of all of us and for the smooth running of our event, it is important that every visitor and every employee considers and adheres to our measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
What if I don't want to wear a mask when I enter a festival venue or sit with my friends and not in my assigned seat?
Then, unfortunately, you have to stay outside. Only if everyone sticks to the measures of the hygiene concept can we guarantee a smooth 31st FFC. Anyone who does not adhere to them even after being asked to do so by one of our staff members will be expelled from the house.
But then I'll get the money for my ticket back...
No. Already with the purchase of the ticket, we refer to our measures and our house rules in case of violation. In these cases, there will be no refund of the purchase price.
Why is there no simultaneous translation of the films this year?
Unfortunately, the distribution of headphones is also not possible due to hygiene measures and distance rules to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the movies will have German subtitles, only some of the English.
How does the FFC organise the contact follow-up for each event?
Before attending FFC events, all visitors must enter their contact details in a form that is available HERE (only in German) and drop it in a box at the venue. Please do this for each screening you visit.
What happens to my contact information?
Of course, we stick to the requirements of the data security protection regulation (DSGVO). The contact forms are kept sealed for four weeks and then they are destroyed in accordance with DSGVO.
