We want to see Spain from another perspective, to show other kind of films and to open a window for the aesthetic sense, as well for the current affairs of the Spanish Film Industry.
Spain is much more than the image reflected still nowadays in the media and has much more to offer. We want to promote an intercultural exchange, where tolerance and diversity will be reinforced.
Everyone of us is working passionately for the Filmfest on a voluntary basis, but even though we are a non-profit association, we do not have the sufficient financial resources at our disposal to cover all the expenses, like for example the rent of the films and the cinema, transportation costs, advertising and promotion, catering, etc. We cannot afford a bank credit and that is why we are asking here for your altruistic help, hoping to reach as many people as possible who can be interested in our project.
Around 200 films are produced every year in Spain. Nearly the same as in Germany, but almost no one reaches the German cinemas. While the Spanish films touch a extremely wide range of genres, from sci-fi to thrillers, as a matter of fact just melodramas à la Almodovar have a real chance to come to be seen in Germany. We want to change it/this, and therefore we need your support!
Because of all that, you must keep an eye on this project. Look at the things differently! You can be part of the Film Festival by helping us in any way you wish.
