Following its great success last year, the “Day of Free Entrance” at FILMFEST HAMBURG returns for a second round. On 3 October, FILMFEST HAMBURG will be showing 36 films in 15 cinemas, all in their original language with German or English subtitles. From Hollywood blockbusters to innovative art films, there is something for everyone, including two children's films.  This year, they have again extended an exclusive invitation to the AWCH and allowed us to block a number of tickets at select films.

Please use the registration link below to register for the film, My Father's Shadow, for yourself and up to 1 guest.  If you reserve tickets and cannot make the film please notify us by September 29 so others in the AWCH or elsewhere in Hamburg can enjoy the free ticket.
