The festival line-up isn’t lacking in short films either, with 11 due for presentation in Special Screenings, including some of the best films to come out of German film schools of late (Next Generation) and the best short films lasting seven minutes or less (Short Tiger Award).
German and French film industry professionals will likewise be flocking to Paris this week for The French-German Film Meetings (organised by German Films and Unifrance in league with the French-German Film Academy), which are taking place at the Goethe-Institut on 8 and 9 October with a number of debates jostling on the agenda (the programme can be found here).
