Filmfest Hamburg coming up...
... and I nearly missed it. Unbelieveable! This year's filmfest takes place from September, 25th to October, 2nd. I actually went to the movies so scarcely over the last weeks that I didn't notice the adverts until yesterday. *shakes head*
I love the "Eurovisuell" section of the festival. They show european blockbusters, this year (among others) a thriller from Belgium, a drama from Bulgaria and a comedy from the Czech Republik.
After having a first look at the programme I came up with quite a lot of movies I'm interested in. But then many of them are dramas, and actually I have enough drama at work recently. So maybe I'll stick to the comedies...
Maybe I'm lucky enough to catch a screening where the filmmakers show up - but unfortunately that's something one usually wouldn't know in advance. Over the last years I had the chance to attend q&a sessions with Julian Fellowes (Oscar winner for best original screenplay for "Gosford Park"), who presented his directorial debut "Seperate Lies", director Stephan Elliott ("Eye of the Beholder"), and Zach Braff ("Scrubs"), after the screening of his movie "The Last Kiss".
