Dear friends of the festival,

another eventful festival year lies behind us. Once again at the 21st Neisse Film Festival we were able to present a thrilling and diverse program with films and events, and experienced personal interactions between audience members and filmmakers in the very special atmosphere of the three-country corner.

We would like to thank you for the great support, loyal partnerships and the fantastic response from the audience. As always, a very special thank you goes to the largely volunteer teams at the festival central headquarters and at the screening locations, without whom the festival would not be possible.

The year 2025 is likely to bring its share of challenges in light of the current political and social developments. In spite of this, we are looking forward to kicking the festival off at the end of May 2025 at the 22nd Neisse Film Festival.

Until then, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful start to the New Year!

Ola Staszel, Andreas Friedrich and the NFF team
