For its 54th edition, Sehsüchte is dedicated to a new generation of filmmakers in a rapidly changing film culture. In the heart of Potsdam, an emblematic city of cinema, the festival serves as a platform for presenting innovative and courageous works. At a time when not only the cultural sector but also the whole reality of life is characterized by upheavals, we are creating a space for encounters in which creativity is encouraged and celebrated.
