Film on the fjord! From 1 to 6 April, Filmfest Schleswig-Holstein will be presenting a diverse programme of regional productions - including ten MOIN-funded projects. Cineastes have the opportunity to see films before their official cinema release - such as the drama SIEBEN TAGE by Ali Ahadi Samadi and the children's film GRÜßE VOM MARS by Sarah Winkenstette.

The 29th edition of Filmfest Schleswig-Holstein celebrates the creative film scene in the north - and there is something for everyone:

Young film fans can look forward to a galactic adventure with Grüße vom Mars The film by Sarah Winkenstette, based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Möller and Sebastian Grusnick, tells the story of Tom, who discovers in an adventurous way that being different is his greatest strength.

The gripping drama Sieben Tage by Ali Ahadi Samadi accompanies an Iranian women's activist on her escape and takes the audience on a dangerous journey full of inner conflicts. The film sheds light on central themes such as resistance, freedom and democracy.

The short film competition features Porzellan by Annika Birgel, a coming-of-age film in which a stag party leads the ten-year-old protagonist to question patriarchal structures and the image of women in her village community.
