“Cinestrange” is dedicated to the international film. Alongside entertainment, which is clearly in the focus, special attention is devoted to the genre cinema. . “Cinestrange” has taken on the task each year to uncover another facet in the rich range of genre cinema. Besides big premieres, new discoveries and fancy misfits who seek to provide the right mix of ambition and entertainment, it is one of the essential functions of “Cinestrange” to promote the rediscovery of forgotten genres, to put them in the context of a reassessment with public appeal and make them available to everyone.
The festival is a platform for showcasing the best films from around the world, as well as a platform of professional people that helps the growth and form the local film industry.
The festival has two major international competitions, non-competition program, and panorama of documentary films.
