10th Cottbus Festival of East European Cinema

This small city in Brandenburg, established in the 10th century when the Sorbs erected a castle on the Spree river, is now home to a bustling annual film festival: The FilmFestival Cottbus – Festival of East European Cinema. This year, our jury gave our award to Something Like Hapiness (Stesti), a Czech/German co-production by writer-director Bohdan Sláma.
