The 31st FilmFestival Cottbus returns to local cinemas from 2nd to 7th of November and presents its programme of 170 films from 40 (co-)production countries, for the first time, in seven venues and on a total of ten screens. In addition, there will be digital cinema in streaming, parallel to the festival and extended until 16th of November. The festival opens with the competition entry ABTEIL NR. 6, a railroad movie between East and West, metropolis and province and two opposing people, which won several prizes in Cannes.
In addition to the four competitions and traditional programme sections, the 31st FFC highlights Slovakian cinema, the Turkish film landscape and the transformation processes after the collapse of the Soviet Union. From Slovak classics from 1946 to current genre and auteur films to full-dome films. From film heritage to science fiction, from slapstick to interactive film games, from the quirky horror comedy to the crisis of meaning of a dissatisfied mainstream director, from new works by old masters like Srdjan Dragojević, Petr Bebjak or Levan Koguashvili to masterful debuts by new talents. Female characters often take centre stage, often the unusual surprises - from the family comedy about a family mother's lesbian coming out, which became a box office hit in Poland, to the contemplative concept film about a mother and son who brought their husband and father out of a coma after a stroke through sheer empathy and togetherness.
