Whet your appetite at the mouth-watering Audi Festival of German Films

German FilmsIn its 9th year, the Audi Festival of German Films will again bring the most outstanding German film productions to Australia.  With more than 170 screenings over 14 days across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and, for the first time ADELAIDE.

Audiences are invited to join us for the 2010 Festival and to participate in the Golden Gnome Audience Award where they can vote for their favourite film and win a trip to Germany!

Screening from May 7 – 9, the 2010 Audi Festival of German Films kicks of with SOUL KITCHEN from renowned director Fatih Akin (The Edge of Heaven).  A run-down restaurant gets a fresh lease of life when the owner hires a temperamental new chef who alienates the regular customers, inadvertently turning the eatery into the toast of the ‘it’ crowd.  The film dazzled critics at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, winning the Special Jury Prize, Young Cinema Award and a Golden Lion Nomination.

Other highlights include:
