Festival Juries
"It is only with the greatest pleasure that I remember my time as jury chair at the Festival of Film Schools in Munich. There were some insanely beautiful films from Finland, a highly talented young Dane named Thomas Vinterberg, exciting films from Israel and Georgia, and a memorable dialogue on stage with old Sam Fuller, little sleep, but lots of films and lots of conversation. I can say without exaggeration that I am "festival experienced," but over the years few of these countless events have made such a lasting impression on me as those days in the fall of 1993. This student film festival is necessary, vital, exciting, and a hugely important entry into a new public sphere for many of these young filmmakers. I wish I could be there again!"
Wim Wenders, Jury chair 1993

"I enjoyed my participation in the Munich International Festival of Film Schools. I saw a lot of innovative films (and a few that weren't so brilliant) and I met some wonderful people. I really remember it with pleasure - which is amazing in itself: because considering how many people bought me drinks, it's a wonder I remember anything at all."
Sir Alan Parker, Jury chair 1988
