Filmbro Baden-Wrttemberg organises the 19th Indian Film Festival Stuttgart from July 20 to 24, 2022 at Innenstadt Kinos Stuttgart.
There are over 30 recent films, helmed by renowned storytellers from all over India, screening at the 19th Indian Film Festival Stuttgart, which is entitled ‘subject to daring, power and vision.’ The Festival audience gets to know popular youngsters of Indian cinema and simply must root for the strong-voiced heroines and heroes.
The Film Festival dedicates the evening to a woman from Stuttgart who was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit as a cultural ambassador by the Federal President only a few days ago. Helga Brehme, who is now celebrating the 50th anniversary of her Theater am Faden in Stuttgart, is represented in the programme of the 19th Indian Film Festival Stuttgart with two documentaries: ‘Barnava Jageer Rajasthan, a journey to the most populated musicians’ village in the Thar Desert’ and ‘Raaga Festival at Mehrangarth Fort in Jodhpur’.
At the Festival finale, the ‘German Star of India’ film awards coveted in India will be presented, ‘German Star of India’ in the categories Best Feature Film (4000 Euro), Best Documentary Film (1000 Euro), Best Short Film (1000 Euro), Director’s Vision Award (un-endowed) and Audience Award (1000 Euro).
Oliver Mahn, festival director, said, “After two online editions due to the pandemic, we are looking forward to returning to the cinema. But we miss the closed Metropol cinema a lot.”
Andreas Lapp, main sponsor of the Indian Film Festival, said, “Especially in turbulent times, one would like to immerse oneself in another world. That is why I am all the more pleased that the Indian Film Festival can finally take place live in Stuttgart again this year.”
