Moreifs-begegnung
The ifs Internationale Filmschule Köln and IFFF Dortmund+Köln have joined forces, tapping their synergies to raise awareness of the work of women directors in the cultural sector and at film schools.
MoreArt on the MOve
Art on the MOve combines visual art from the collection of the Museum Ostwall (MO) with contemporary author films.
MoreIndustry get-together
Since 2013, IFFF Dortmund+Köln has organised panel discussions and network meetings at the Berlinale in Berlin.
MoreCollaborations
