Das Filmfest in Prague

This year’s edition of Das Filmfest arrives in Prague from October 15 to 20, bringing a diverse program of contemporary German-language cinema.

The festival regularly introduces Czech audiences to films from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland that might otherwise struggle to reach local cinemas.

This year’s lineup features both award-winning and highly anticipated titles; the festival opens at the Lucerna Cinema on Thursday, October 15, with a 6:00 PM screening of the film “Tender Monster”.

Highlights of this year’s Das Filmfest include the acclaimed drama “Rose” (starring Sandra Hüller) and the German Oscar contender “Forever”. Other excellent choices include the laid-back comedy “Indian Summer”, the tense thriller “Justice”, and the cult Oscar-winning classic “The Lives of Others”.

The festival offers more than just screenings; visitors can look forward to meeting filmmakers and actors who will personally introduce selected films, giving audiences a unique behind-the-scenes look at European cinema.

All films will be screened in their original language (DE) with Czech subtitles.
