Let exground filmfest carry you away to other worlds and cultures and experience audience favourites from other festivals, Academy Award nominated films and movie stars. 15 films from 21 countries, from Argentina to Chile, Israel, Macedonia and the Philippines all the way to Thailand, including several German premieres, eleven fiction features and four documentaries, with numerous prize winners among them. Chile is represented with no less than two films that confront the country’s past: in ENDLESS POETRY the director recalls the avant-garde of the 1940s and 50s in an equally poetic and mad journey back in time. Two-time Academy Award nominee Pablo Larraín tells the story of Nobel prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda with the help of excellent performances, in particular from Gael García Bernal. For his most recent film IT’S ONLY THE END OF THE WORLD, which was honoured with the Jury Grand Prix in Cannes, Xavier Dolan assembled an all-star cast in front of the camera. Marion Cotillard, Vincent Cassel and Nathalie Baye shine in this family drama
