Preview FFDD25: Regional Focus with German-Sorbian Films

Once more at the 37 Filmfest Dresden, the SLUB (Saxon State Library – Dresden State and University Library) and the Saxony Film Association are compiling the Regional Focus screenings in the context of their mutual Securing the Audio-Visual Heritage in Saxony (SAVE) digitalisation programme. With the support of the Foundation for the Sorbian People and in cooperation with the Sorbian-German film network ŁUŽYCAFILM, this year’s selection of films is dedicated to the Lausitz region in Saxony and consists of a carefully curated programme with historical documentary footage from the Sorbian institute.
The programme is focusing on the early days of amateur Sorbian filmmaking, capturing the customs and habits of the Sorbs – traditions that remained deeply rooted in their everyday lives until the 1960s. The programme is highlighting a fascinating chapter in the regional film history and contributing to the preservation of this cultural heritage.
Look forward to exciting programmes at the 37 FILMFEST DRESDEN from 8 to 13 April 2025!
Advance ticket sales start on 18 March.
