“Finally film festivals are taking place again, in movie theatres with an audience. And KLAPPE AUF! is not even possible any other way, it has so much to offer “live” – a very thoughtful realisation of accessibility which considers all limitations, and of course a great program.This year the films were selected with the topic Rollercoaster in mind and I couldn’t imagine a more fitting motto to describe the highs and lows which we all lived through during the pandemic. But after such a long time in which we had to learn to distance ourselves, the way back to a shared movie experience is not easy.I wish the festival curious and adventurous visitors who embrace this extraordinary opportunity in Hamburg, and get into three days of a fast, funny and moving short film adventure. Enjoy the ride!”
