How do we maintain a positive outlook on tomorrow without harboring the naive hope that somehow everything will turn out fine in the end? How do people manage to develop a confident attitude even though external circumstances are frightening? Confidence involves more than just a positive mindset about the future. Confidence also stands for a mental strength that helps us overcome challenges and get through difficult times.

„Even if things do not turn out well, room for maneuver can be found. That is the core of confidence, says publicist and science editor Ulrich Schnabel.

FILM OHNE GRENZEN wants to trace the feeling of CONFIDENCE with its 11th edition – in more than 20 films, panel discussions, and conversations with filmmakers, philosophers, and experts.

We look forward to a diverse program and stimulating discussions from August 31 to September 3, 2023, at the 11th International Film Festival at Lake Scharmützel!
