How To: Edition 2021

Due to the current situation caused by COVID 19, the entire festival program will be run exclusively online this year. For the 2021 edition, there are two different ways to participate in the festival online.

As the forum character— the collective exchange and experience— remains a central aspect also of the online version, all films and film discussions can be live streamed online at fixed dates and times. For the livestream, all viewers will have the opportunity to participate in the live film discussion via Zoom.

Secondly, all films can be viewed On Demand for the entire duration of the festival from May 6th to the 16th.

All tickets can be purchased through the film & ticket portal www.freiburger-filmforum.culturebase.org

On our homepage you will find the entire festival program with detailed information on the individual events, as well as an overview of the livestream dates when films will be screened. After the livestream the audience will have the possibility to take part in a post-film discussion via Zoom. On the site for each film, the "Ticket" button will take you to the film & ticket portal  www.freiburger-filmforum.culturebase.org, where you can buy the ticket for the film.

Before you can buy a ticket, you must log on to www.freiburger-filmforum.culturebase.org to register. You can then decide whether you would like to view the film during the livestream or at any time as On Demand.

Via the livestream, you can watch the following films at the fixed dates and times with the possibility to participate in the film discussion via Zoom. You can find more information about the possibility to participate in the film discussion under the point "Film discussion via Zoom". You can also watch the film On Demand during the entire festival period May 6th-16th. Any variations are indicated, as are access limits for some films.

Not necessarily. To follow along with the film talk, you can simply stay in the livestream where you watched the film. You do not need to do anything else. If you would like to ask a question or actively participate, however, you will need to log in to Zoom. The Zoom link will be in the purchase confirmation email you will have received.

To be able to actively participate in the live stream via Zoom, you need to register for Zoom. You will find a Zoom link in the purchase confirmation email you will have received. Please click on this link and follow the instructions. You will be taken to the virtual Zoom room where the film talk will take place.

For your information, when you enter the Zoom room, all participants will be automatically muted. This is done to reduce background noise and feedback and make for a pleasant space for everyone. You can activate the microphone by clicking on the microphone icon in the lower left corner. You can also decide if you want to be visible to everyone and activate the camera.

There are two ways: You can write a question in the chat. You can find the chat button in the center of the bottom of the screen. Your question will be noted by the moderator and then asked to the guest. If you want to ask a question with your own contribution, select the "Raise Hand" function via the "Reactions" option at the bottom right. If you do not have this option on your device, please write in the chat that you have a question. The moderator will then be able to see that you would like to ask a question. Please wait to be addressed by the moderator.

The Zoom film talk will be streamed and simultaneously recorded so that it can be subsequently published on the Kommunales Kino website (accessible worldwide). The participants in the film discussion will need to agree to this.
