Filmfest Bremen – English

The 9th Filmfest Bremen 2024 is over and a fest it was! With the winner of Bremer Filmpreis John Malkovich, a brilliant film evening centred around Werder Bremen and numerous prizes in the competitions, the festival celebrated film in Bremen for almost a week. Once again, 14,000 visitors and several hundred filmmakers from the region and around the world took part.

An overview of the winning films can be found here.

The Bremen Film Award 2024 will be presented on Wednesday, 10 April in the theatre at Goetheplatz. The winner is none other than… John Malkovich! He receives the “Goldenen Mops” and then changes roles. In the concert “An Evening of Music and Humour with John Malkovich”, curated by Aleksey Igudesman, he changes from award winner to music critic. 

We are delighted that on 10 April at the Theater am Goetheplatz, John Malkovich will not only be awarded the Bremen Film Prize by Sparkasse Bremen.

He is also giving something back to Bremen with a special kind of performance: 90 minutes of verbal dissection of some of the greatest classical pieces and composers in music history – accompanied by a chamber orchestra and these very pieces.

The evening was organised by violinist, composer and conductor Aleksey Igudesman.

More information and tickets are available here.

To mark the 125th anniversary of Werder Bremen, the Filmfest and SV are inviting people to take part in a short film competition. We are looking for fans and admirers, or simply people who associate great experiences with their favorite green and white club.

The Bremen Super 8 evening is a wild experiment against the grain of time:
No digital image post-processing, “editing” is only allowed with the camera and the result of the work is only to be watched on the cinema screen – together with the audience and the musicians who put improvised music under the films.

The international Super 8 short film competition “St8 of the Art” is back again this year – Super 8 films from all over the world, projected analogue or digital.

The 8th Bremen Film Festival ended on Sunday, April 16.

After the final evaluation, it is clear that the number of visitors more than doubled compared to previous years.

Over 14,000 people attended the numerous events.

We are delighted with this popularity!
