Started by a handful of\"\" cinema enthusiasts it has developed into an audience festival for 25,000 visitors. Around 280 film industry professionals \u2013 filmmakers, actors, producers, composers, press \u2013 attend the festival to see about 170 full-length and short films on six screens. Since 2009 the festival operates its own cinema, the UNIVERSUM Filmtheater, with two screens for 87 and 207 seats.
\nProgramme<\/span><\/strong>
\nYoung European cinema of the highest standard is one of the trademarks of Braunschweig Int\u2019l filmfest. \u201cMusic & Film\u201d is Braunschweig\u2019s second focal point, drawing attention to the sound of the moving images. International premi\u00e8res, cin\u00e9ma d\u2019auteurs, film concerts, retrospectives, tributes and four awards round off the filmfest\u2019s profile, giving the audience and the press ample scope for new discoveries.
\nBraunschweig Int\u2019l filmfest devotes itself to a long neglected aspect of cinema history and culture: the close relationship between film and music. Since 2002 we have invited famous film composers to present a selection of their films and talk about their work in a music master class. In cooperation with the Braunschweig State Orchestra, one of the oldest orchestras of the world, filmfest also showcases film concerts with new compositions.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The City of Braunschweig” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Authentic historic sights and old quarters<\/strong>, post-modern architecture, \"\"a rich cultural heritage, urban charm and expansive parks and natural landscapes \u2013 Braunschweig, the city of \u201cHenry the Lion\u201d and home of 257.000 inhabitants, unites the past and the future, the historic and the visionary, the traditional and the innovative.<\/span><\/p>\n
