Commencement of the International Cartoon Film Festival in Wiesbaden

The city of Wiesbaden is set to host an exciting event on November 6, 2020, as the "Frame by Frame // A Look Behind the Scenes, Short Films by Oscar-winning Brothers Lauenstein" takes place at Schloss Biebrich. This event is organised by Freunde der Filme im Schloss, in cooperation with the Wiesbaden City Culture Department, Omnimago GmbH, and German Film and Media Evaluation.

The festival has received support from HessenFilm und Medien GmbH and the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain. The Press Office of the City of Wiesbaden can be contacted at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, for any queries or additional information.

Christoph Lauenstein, an Oscar-winning filmmaker from Hamburg, will be the main attraction of the evening. He will present a selection of artistic short films by the Lauenstein twins, including their award-winning work, "Balance". This film, first shown in 1990, won an Oscar for the twins and is still celebrated as a classic and a perfect symbol of German reunification.

During the event, Christoph Lauenstein will discuss the hype surrounding their film "Balance" and share insights into why it took many years for him and his brother to start their own independent film project again. He will also talk about the handmade animated films created by the twins using classic stop-motion techniques for 35 years, and the two CGI films shown worldwide, "Balance" and "Luis & The Aliens".

Citizens are encouraged to attend this unique opportunity to delve into the world of the Lauenstein twins and gain a deeper understanding of their creative process. For more information, please visit the provided website in the email signature.

The Lauenstein twins were awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for their significant contributions to the German film industry. Their work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making the "Frame by Frame // A Look Behind the Scenes" event a must-attend for film enthusiasts.
