15 YEARS OF GERMAN FILMS IN BUENOS AIRES

Originally planned as the “little sister“ of the popular Festival of German Films in Madrid, the event in Buenos Aires has long since developed into its very own success story with continuously growing and impressive admission figures. The 15th edition took place this year from 10 to 16 September and kicked off with the German candidate submitted for the Best Foreign Language Oscar®, LABYRINTH OF LIES, in the presence of the director Giulio Ricciarelli. VICTORIA lead actress Laia Costa also traveled to Buenos Aires and charmed the crowds with her passion and humor at lively Q&As. In total, 18 German feature films and the German Films short film program of NEXT GENERATION SHORT TIGER 2015 were shown. This year’s festival attracted some 6,400 enthusiastic cinemagoers.
