20th German Currents Festival Wraps in Los Angeles With 12 Screenings, Opening Film 'Fatherland'
The 20th German Currents festival of German film in Los Angeles ran Oct. 8-13 at the American Cinematheque's Aero Theatre and Los Feliz 3, the Wende Museum, the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles and Gardena Cinema, with 12 screenings. Opening night on Oct. 8 featured the red-carpet West Coast premiere of 'Fatherland' by Pawel Pawlikowski, starring Sandra Huller, followed by a conversation with the director.
The program included seven award-winning features, two documentaries, two youth films and the NEXT GENERATION SHORT TIGER short-film program, with several filmmakers attending in person for Q and A sessions. Organizers say German Currents has connected Los Angeles audiences with German and European co-productions for two decades.
