Events MICHEL Film Festival

While international actors, directors and cinema enthusiasts flock to the prestigious FilmFest Hamburg, the city's youngest film lovers can enjoy the latest in kids' and teen cinema at the MICHEL Children's and Youth FilmFest.

At the end of the festival, a jury of seven kids awards the best entry with the desired MICHEL Film Award.
