The LICHTER Film Festival Frankfurt International is a celebration of and for film. Carried by a high-quality regional as well as international program, it shines a light on the facets of film art that too often miss out in the everyday of cinema and television. Sections of the festival: International Feature and Short Film, Regional Feature and Short Film, Future German Cinema, LICHTER Art Award, LICHTER VR Storytelling Award. Beyond festival time, LICHTER adds to the cultural life of Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region significantly in a variety of formats like the open-air cinema Frankfurt and Rüsselsheim, the "Zukunft Deutscher Film" congress and High Rise Cinema.
