The International Thuringia Film Festival is a new annual event dedicated to the genres of poetry film and video poetry. At the heart of the festival is the presentation of the Weimar Poetry Film Award at the Lichthaus Kino.
The festival aims to promote and perpetuate the exchange between filmmakers and authors in Thuringia and central Germany. Weimar, known for its literature and art, is a city of great poets and poetry, making it the ideal location for such a competition.
The backup_festival at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar was the original inspiration for the „PoetryFilmTage„. The Thuringia Film Festival stands out for its close connection between an international competition, in-house film production, and an online magazine (Poetryfilmkanal).
