Bavarian filmmakers have always had a place of pride at the Munich Film Festival. Hometown hero Marcus H. Rosenmüller returns again this year with BAVARIAN OUTLAW – an historic drama about a legendary 19th century Bavarian bandit. This year’s retrospective was a tribute to Munich original Herbert Achternbusch, whose films take an unconventional, often sceptical look at Bavaria’s culture and landscape. And in his film DIE ZWEITE FRAU, young director Hans Steinbichler presents a touching story of a Bavarian family. KINO looks at the search for Bavaria – its people, its culture and values – in current cinema.
