French German Film Festival 2010
This year, for the very first time, the Goethe-Institut and the Embassy of France will hold a French-German Film Festival in three of New Zealand’s main cities: Dunedin (4–10 November), Auckland (16-23 November) and Wellington (23 November – 4 December).
The ten films included in the festival’s line-up, released in the past five years, will take you on a rollercoaster ride through of emotions as you observe the twisted relationships that can exist between family members,the lives of prisoners’ wives and the freedom of river surfing hundreds of miles from the ocean.
This selection of motion pictures stemming from the two most creative and fertile film industries in Europe, was inspired by the success of last year’s respective French and German Film Festivals.
Through showcasing the similarities and differences of French and German cinematography, the organisers of the event hope to provide the New Zealand public with the opportunity to explore the diversity of the neighbouring countries.
Metropolis Cinema, Dunedin (4 -10 November)
Academy Cinemas, Auckland (16 - 23 November)
Soundings Theatre, Te Papa, Wellington (13 -14 November)
The Film Archive, Wellington (23 November – 4 December)
