With your support, from the 20th to the 26th of April, we transform Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Darmstadt and Mainz into one of the most important international centres for Central and Eastern European Filmmaking.
The goEast programme is divided into a total of seven sections, each with its own profile: Competition, Symposium, East-West Talent Lab, Portrait/Homage, Beyond Belonging, Highlights, and Specials. The sections are carefully curated and serve to build bridges between Central and Eastern European auteur film and experimental film, from current genre cinema to rediscovered historical films.
The East-West Talent Lab concentrates on networking, bringing young filmmakers, artists and film students from Central and Eastern European countries and Germany together.
In addition to film programmes and promoting young talent, we have a varied side bar programme with film talks, exhibitions, readings, concerts and parties. goEast spans between filmmakers and audience, between cinema and city.
