Win! HSBC German Film Festival 2026 movie tickets

We are delighted to announce the return of the HSBC German Film Festival, Australia’s only dedicated celebration of German-language cinema, screening from May 7 to May 27.

Presented by Palace and German Films, this year’s dynamic line-up of contemporary German cinema includes powerful dramas, insightful true-life stories, delightful comedy and charming family films.

This year’s festival centrepiece is AMRUM, the celebrated new feature from multi-award-winning director Fatih Akin. The film is a moving and deeply poignant drama about a 12-year-old boy named Nanning who lives on Amrum Island in 1945, during the final days of the war. Starring Laura Tonke, Diane Kruger and Matthias Schweighöfer, plus a brilliant performance from the young lead Jasper Billerbeck, Amrum is based on the real-life story of co-writer Hark Bohm.

We have five in-season double passes to give away to the HSBC German Film Festival 2026, screening in Palace Cinemas and Luna Cinemas from May 7 to May 27.
