24th goEast – Festival of Central and Eastern European Film
April 24 -30 in Wiesbaden and Frankfurt
Following the annual festival tradition, goEast will once again showcase both contemporary film art and historical programs from Central and Eastern Europe in 2024. Sixteen feature-length fiction and documentary films will compete for the coveted prizes. The symposium will focus on queer cinema from Central and Eastern Europe, past, present, and future, and is part of the Cinema Archipelago section: Titled “Un:recognized,” it gives voice to the often overlooked voices of the region – and an audience.
The full program of the 24th goEast will soon be available on the festival’s website. General ticket sales begin on April 4th.

Die 17-jährige Lora muss mit dem Tod ihres Vaters fertig werden. Ihre Familie und die Dorfgemeinschaft erwarten, dass sie sich der Trauer hingibt: Von nun an muss sie Schwarz tragen, verschiedene Trauerrituale einhalten und darf keine Musik hören. Lora möchte weiterhin ihre Jugend genießen, doch ihr Wunsch, ein normales Leben zu führen, wird durch das Urteil der anderen gestört, die sie in die Rolle einer Waise zu zwingen versuchen.
