Ronald Zehrfeld becomes patron of FILM WITHOUT BORDERS

He has been with us since the very beginning and has supported the festival with much dedication and joy in the past. Now Ronald Zehrfeld officially assumes the function of patron and ambassador of FILM WITHOUT BORDERS “. I have been a huge fan of FILM WITHOUT BORDERS from the very beginning – here a program is put together with heart and mind that is extremely demanding. The films confront us with content that life is really about,” says the actor. Ronald Zehrfeld has a very special connection to Bad Saarow: “As a child I often spent my holidays in Bad Saarow, learned to cycle here and swim in the Scharmützelsee. About his motivation to support the festival, the actor said in an interview with the Zitty: “With FILM WITHOUT BORDERS, there is a social claim that I not only stand behind, but also because of which I have taken up my profession. Culture is the soul of a country. And there are only a few projects left that are about the real thing: bringing people together again. FILM WITHOUT BORDERS has no airs, people from all walks of life meet here. There are also a number of social projects outside the festival days, such as working with young people and refugees.”
