The 2024 HSBC German Film Festival, presented by Palace in cooperation with German Films, is set to feature a selection of contemporary German cinema.

First highlights include the new drama from Camera d’Or winning writer/director Claire Burger, Foreign Language, which arrives direct from the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival; One For the Road, starring Frederick Lau and Nora Tschirner; Dark Satellites, starring Nastassja Kinski and Albrecht Schuch and Lubo, starring Franz Rogowski.

The ‘Kino for Kids’ sidebar, presented by the Goethe-Institut Australia, will screen Mission: School of Fun (Die unlangweiligste Schule der Welt – Auf Klassenfahrt), adapted from Sabrina J. Kirschner’s bestselling children’s book series, and The Flying Classroom (Das fliegende Klassenzimmer) is a big-screen adaptation of Erich Kästner’s best-selling children’s and young adult’s book of the same name.

Two further titles for families and children will be announced in the full programme release in April.
