Bremen & Surroundings

Films from Bremen and the surrounding areas, as well as productions shot in Bremen or Lower Saxony, of any genre, constitute a central element of the Filmfest Bremen. In the local competition, on the one hand, there are feature films and documentaries produced around the world but with involvement from Bremen or Lower Saxony, and on the other hand, films that directly engage with regional history or were shot in the region. The film festival aims to be the platform where the Bremen audience can witness the diversity and creativity of the local film scene.

This year, the “Senator for Culture” is doubling the prize money to €3,000 for the Best Film from Bremen.
