German Currents 2010
October 20th through 24th 2010

Preparation for the German Currents Filmfest are in full swing, the final line-up and guests have been announced and tickets are on sale already.

Once again, the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles along with their partners, German Films, the American Cinematheque, Lufthansa, and Berlin & Beyond Film Festival / San Francisco are proud to present the fourth German Currents Showcase, featuring some of the best German films of the past year.

This year the organizers selected a wide array of documentaries and feature films, from sweeping epics to intimate comedies. The movies cover powerful emotional topics from immigration, aging and abuse, to more light-hearted fare, such as the opening film When We Leave, the German Oscar® Entry for "Best Foreign Language Film" and the closing night film Vincent Wants to Sea, a German box-office hit with young adults.

Furthermore, the organizers are proud to present the first German 3D animated film, Animals United, inspired by the famous book by Erich Kästner, plus the epic historical drama Pope Joan, based on the book by Donna Cross.

After most of the screenings, filmmakers, actors and producers involved in the film will be on hand for a Q&A session.
