The 21st Filmfest Hamburg will take place from September 26 – October 5, 2013 at the following venues: Abaton, CinemaxX Dammtor, Metropolis, Passage, Studio-Kino and 3001.

The French-Canadian film “Gabrielle” by Louise Archambault is to open the 21st Filmfest Hamburg on September 26. “Québec is currently one of the most exciting, creative and multifaceted film-producing nations, and has given Filmfest Hamburg the most beautiful of films and most magical of cinema experiences time and again over the past few years. It is therefore no surprise that we are opening the Filmfest with a film from Québec,” says Festival Director Albert Wiederspiel.
