CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 2019 + FFC reglement with new eligible countries
Cottbus looks for new feature and short films from Eastern, East Central and South Eastern Europe
From November 5 to 10 November 2019 the 29th edition of the FilmFestival Cottbus is scheduled to take place. Featuring a total of up to 180 films from more than 30 countries over the course of six action-packed days, the festival has attained the status of a must-attend global event over recent years.
With almost € 80,000 of prize money up for grabs, including € 49,500 solely for the three main competitions Feature Film, Short Film and U18 Youth Film, the festival is an attractive venue for ambitious filmmakers and producers. Films from Finland, Greece and Turkey will enrich the festival programme as of this year. "We want to highlight the cultural and historical connections that exist between the countries that have been present at the FFC so far and those that are now being added", explained FFC Programme Director Bernd Buder. "Expanding the geographical diversity allows us to take a new and closer look at Eastern Europe and its eastern neighbours.“
