International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg
The Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival takes place annually in November in the two cities of Mannheim and Heidelberg .
The film festival , founded in Mannheim in 1952, is a meeting of auteur cinema and high-quality foreign films. The neighboring city of Heidelberg has been the second location since 1994. The focus of the festival is on the discovery and promotion of young talent - mainly first and second works by young directors are shown. The “Grand Newcomer Award Mannheim-Heidelberg” honors talented young directors. In addition to the Berlinale and the Hof Film Festival, Mannheim-Heidelberg is one of Germany's most important film festivals and is among the top 40 worldwide.
In addition to the official program series, there has been the “Mannheim Meeting Place” since 2010, which continues the previous “Mannheim Meetings” co-production market in a new form, with the aim of supporting young filmmakers with the distribution and coproduction of new projects.
The 69th Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival will take place from November 12 to 22, 2020.
history
At the suggestion of Mannheim's Lord Mayor Hermann Heimerich , the “Culture and Documentary Film Week” was held for the first time at the end of May 1952, under the direction of Kurt Joachim Fischer . The event quickly made a name for itself in the German film world and became the model for the “ International Short Film Festival ” in Oberhausen and the “ International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film ”.
The Critics' Prize of the World Organization of Film Critics, FIPRESCI, has been awarded in Mannheim since 1960.
From 1961 the festival was held as the “Mannheim International Film Week”.
In the mid-1980s, the film week got into an existence-threatening crisis when drastic savings were demanded (the subsidies were then still granted).
In 1991 it was renamed the “Internationales Film Festival Mannheim” and the festival director Michael Kötz , who was in office until 2019, took up his work. After renewed financial difficulties, the city of Heidelberg was won as a partner in 1994. Since then, the film week has taken place in both cities. In addition, the state of Baden-Württemberg began to become more involved.
In 1995 the “Exclusion List” was introduced, tightening the conditions of entry for films in the competition: The films must not have been screened in Germany , Cannes , Venice , Berlin , San Sebastian and other festivals.
In addition to the competition, the new section “International Discoveries” was established in 1996. The “project market”, which now also includes films from Europe, became an integral part of the festival. The planned meetings of filmmakers and (co- producers ) have been running since 1997 under the name “Mannheim Meetings”. There are only a few film markets of this kind in the world: Rotterdam , Pusan , New York .
The 50th anniversary of the festival was celebrated in 2001 with over 60,000 visitors and over 1,000 trade visitors.
In 2003, a special series with new German feature-length and short films drew attention to a new generation of filmmakers from Germany , including Christoph Hochhäusler with his full-length debut feature film Milchwald . The symposium "Arthouse is for Everyone" took place as part of the Mannheim Meetings . The “Mannheim Sales & Distribution Meetings” were successfully established as a new part of the Mannheim meetings.
The Festival of German Films was founded in Ludwigshafen am Rhein in 2005 on the initiative of the Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival.
Due to renovation work, the festival in 2007 did not take place in the Mannheim town hall , but on the Rheinterrassen in Mannheim. For the first time, the films were also shown with German subtitles . Short films were no longer shown.
In 2008 the "Film Culture Prize" was awarded for the first time. The undoped prize goes to institutions, companies and individuals who have continuously rendered services to film culture in Germany over the years.
"Life! But how? ”- This question shaped the program of the 61st Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival in 2012. Over 28 films from a total of 26 countries were presented. The program was supplemented by a special series dedicated to Krzysztof Kieślowski's work, among others . The 61st edition of the festival recorded 58,000 visitors and around 800 industry guests.
“Everyone has a story” - under this motto, the 62nd International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg in 2013 took its audience to unknown countries - in 52 films from 27 countries. Once again, 60,000 visitors streamed into the festival cinemas. This includes all the cinema tickets sold, the cinema visits of around 600 accredited guests, the guests of honor, the hundreds of visits to children's films and the use of the digital library of the festival program by the specialist guests.
In 2014 the festival recorded around 60,000 film visits with around 50,000 tickets sold for 39 festival films with an average of 4,500 film visitors per day. Almost 5,000 participants put their questions to the directors at the 90 film talks. The highlights of the festival were the official opening in Heidelberg with the European premiere of Savina Dellicours All Cats are Gray , followed by the visit of director Uwe Janson at the beginning of the festival in Mannheim with his film Auf das Leben! as a preview before the cinema release. For the fifth time, the festival organized the Mannheim Meeting Place under the direction of Julek Kedzierski. The new Bürgersaal, which was converted into an ideal cinema for the Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival and, above all, for the “Oststadttheater”, met with enthusiasm among festival visitors because the film premieres can now be presented in an appropriate setting.
In 2015, as in the previous year, almost 60,000 visitors filled the cinema halls during the festival. In Heidelberg, tents in the Heidelberg Castle Gardens were no longer temporary cinemas, but numerous films were shown at the new venue in the Heidelberg Südstadt, the Campbell Barracks . The presentation of the Master of Cinema Award to Olivier Assayas also marked the start of the festival in Mannheim. The 22 films in the International Competition of Newcomer Films impressed with their formal precision, acting class and a dramaturgically professional approach to their respective topic. The winner of the International Newcomer Films competition, Celso R. Garcia , received the Grand Newcomer Award 2015 for The Thin Yellow Line . In addition to numerous innovations such as the “World Cinema” series and the cooperation with “Enjoy Jazz”, the new series competition attracted attention. Known worldwide as a forum for the discovery of new directorial talent in the art house sector, the Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival has set up a new, additional competition for creative and intelligent series dramas by highly talented newcomers from 2015 and awarded the New Creators Award 2015 to the series Occupied - Die Besatzung by Karianne Lund and Erik Skjoldbjærg.
Many directors who only later became famous have shown films here (often also debut works), including films by François Truffaut , Wim Wenders (1969), Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1969 premiere of the film Katzelmacher ), Mike Leigh (1972), Patricio Guzmán ( 1973), Krzysztof Kieślowski (1974), Jim Jarmusch (1980), Lars von Trier , Atom Egoyan (1984), Bryan Singer (1993), Guillaume Nicloux (1994), Angela Schanelec , Martin Šulík (1995), Lou Ye (1996 ) Thomas Vinterberg , Rafi Pitts (1997), Derek Cianfrance (1998), Nicolas Winding-Refn , Luca Guadagnino (1999), Nabil Ayouch , Sarah Gavron (2000), Christian Ole Madsen (2001), Luis Ortega (2002), Felix Van Groeningen (2004) and Ramin Bahrani (2005). Guests or jury members included Fritz Lang (1964), Theodor W. Adorno , Kurt Georg Kiesinger (1965), Bernardo Bertolucci (1966), Werner Herzog (1969), Marcel Reich-Ranicki (1964), Edgar Reitz (2008) and Olivier Assayas (2015) in Mannheim.
