Not be outdone by their neighbours, whose own festival du film celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, the latest line-up at the Audi Festival of German Films is guaranteed to give the French a run for their money.

Presented by the Goethe-Institut in conjunction with Palace Cinemas, the 2014 festival boasts a selection of more than 50 German language films, as well as parties, lectures, special screenings and Q&As.

Just a few of the highlights include Marc Rothemund’s The Girl with Nine Wigs, about a young woman struggling with a cancer diagnosis; Constanze Knoche’s simmering family drama, Visitors, about the strained relationship between a father and his three adult children; and Jan-Ole Gerster’s black and white, day-in-the-life dramedy Oh Boy, which scooped up the top prize at the 2013 German Film Awards.

The Audi Festival of German Film is in Sydney and Melbourne from March 27 to April 11, and in Brisbane from March 28 to April 3. Thanks to the festival, we have six double passes to give away in each city, valid for a session of your choosing.
