says thank you. Thank you to thousands of filmmakers, who have given us more than a hundred movies. Thank you to all the young talents and the veterans who met up after screenings and networked at industry events and in the lounge to enthusiastically discuss new projects. Thank you to the award winners who travelled all the way from abroad to take part in talks and put a face to their films. Thank you to all sponsors, cooperation partners and volunteers. And of course, thank you to over 15.000 visitors who made this festival our best-attended ever.

You all are the Filmfest Bremen.
