Munich Film Festival Chiefs Reflect On German Cinema, Stellan Skarsgård’s Star Turn & Gillian Anderson’s Emotional Night: “She Cried, We All Cried”


Munich International Film Festival bosses on star turns and their vision for an event that puts the international spotlight on German-language film.

As the mercury soared, the industry activity at the Munich International Film Festival was, as usual, centered around the Amerikahaus, a cultural institution that fosters transatlantic relations. Their movies – Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value and Marianne Elliott’s The Salt Path – played at the Festival and other highlights thus far include Elena Oxman’s Outerlands taking the first Queer Media Society award for a feature film. Uta Brieswitz’s American Sweatshop also played at the festival and she gave an industry masterclass, hosted by Deadline, talking about her film and clueing a packed crowd into how to make it in Hollywood.
