KINO!2017: ROUND FOUR

Last year’s edition of KINO! in April was so successful that the festival will return to the spring dates again. This year’s new venue is one of the leading arthouse theaters in town – the arthouse-complex Sunshine Cinema (Landmark Theatres) in the East Village – with more capacity and daily screenings from March 31 – April 6. Programmed by an independent jury of leading industry professionals – Karl Rozemeyer (film journalist), Marian Masone (film curator, festival advisor) and Meghan Wurtz (distributor), the festival will present ten full-length new feature films from 2016 – highlighting one of the German actresses of the FACE TO FACE WITH GERMAN FILMS campaign. Centerpiece will be a silent film with live electronic music by a DJ. Short film buffs will love the NEXT GENERATION SHORT TIGER 2016 program that is also part of the line-up. New York audiences will have the opportunity to vote online for their favorite film – the KINO!2017 Audience Award.
