Mannheim has always been a very vibrant and creative city. This is evident almost every day on the numerous stages of the city. The best known is, of course, the “Schillerbühne”, the National Theatre. It is enjoying national-wide recognition with its mixture of modern and classical works. In addition, there is a very lively scene of small-scale performing arts. Cabaret artists, comedians and independent theatre groups offer a very varied programme for every taste. And the same is true for music.
Mannheim is an emotional city which offers many various facets and nice locations. This is exactly what film makers have perceived for some years now. Due to ideal shooting conditions and the open-mindedness of the citizens, the city is enjoying more and more popularity as a film set.
However, Mannheim is more than only a film set. It is also the home of the fourth oldest film festival worldwide, the “International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg“.
