The Festival Augenblick is a French film festival based in Strasbourg, held annually in the Grand Est region since 2005. It showcases German-language films.
Profile
[edit]Taking place every November in Alsace and the Grand Est region, the festival focuses on German-language cinema.[1] Founded in 2005 by the Alsace Cinémas association (now renamed Le RECIT), the festival aims to make films primarily from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland accessible to a wide French audience. It features both current films and classics, showcasing works from renowned filmmakers as well as emerging talents.[2][3]
One of the festival's key objectives is to foster cultural exchange between German-speaking countries and France. It counts over 50,000 admissions annually and is held in more than 40 screening locations.[4][5]
In addition to film screenings, the festival offers various side events, such as discussions, workshops, masterclasses, and film education programs. The current artistic director of the festival is Sadia Robein.[6]
Guests and awards

The competition for Best Film includes the presentation of the Professional Jury Prize (endowed with €2,000), awarded by a jury of European film professionals. Amongst the winners have been films such as Drii Winter, Styx, Western, One Last Evening, Land of Mine, Amour Fou, Oray and The Wall.[7]
The festival's honorary guests have included renowned names such as Daniel Brühl, Werner Herzog, Christian Petzold, Hanna Schygulla and Volker Schlöndorff.[8][9]
