The “KINO German Film Festival – Macau 2022”, co-organised by Cut Company Limited and the Goethe-Institut Hong Kong, will take place at Teatro Alegria (Wing Lok Cinema) and the premises of the Cut Association on Rua de Coelho do Amaral until November 20, according to a statement by Cut Company Limited.
The film-fest started on Saturday.
The statement said that the festival will feature 11 German films with diverse content, giving local audiences the chance to appreciate the “impressive” films.
According to the statement, the festival’s opening film was the award-winning animation “Fritzi – A Revolutionary Tale”, which brings to life the absurd everyday life of East Germany through a child’s vision. Two films with a deep connection to literature will also be presented –“The Royal Game”, which depicts the spiritual struggle of a German elitist when he was imprisoned, and “Dear Thomas” shot in black and white and based on a powerful biopic by German poet, film director and author Thomas Brasch.
The statement said that the German film series also includes “My Son”, a story about a complex mother– child relationship, and “The Last Execution” which depicts people’s life in the East German system. The statement added that “Goodbye Lenin!”, will be closing the festival on November 20, coinciding with the film’s 20th anniversary.
The films are shown in German with English and Chinese subtitles or dubbed into English with Chinese subtitles.
“Kino” is the German word for cinema.
