New German Films

This year's NDF presents strong films by young filmmakers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, focusing on disadvantage and heteronomy. In her debut film NICO, Eline Gehring powerfully shows a woman who struggles against the mental effects of a violent racist attack. In a completely different way, Sarah Blaßkiewitz addresses the topic of integration in her first feature-length film IVIE WIE IVIE. Both films have been nominated for the German-French Youth Award KINEMA. The Braunschweig Filmpreis, worth €5,000, sponsored by the Braunschweiger Filmfreunde, will again be awarded to the best newcomer actor or actress.

The NDF is supported by Gärtner Datensysteme.
