In the page's words:

moving history - Festival of historical film

• is the only German festival that presents documentary and fictional films with historical themes from current and past cinema and television production.

• The festival takes up the continuing popularity of media images of history. These not only shape our perception of the past, but also influence our perception of the present and expectations of the future.

• aims to offer a space in which filmmakers can enter into conversation with a broad audience. Film talks are therefore an essential part of the format.

• takes place annually in smaller or larger editions: always with the awarding of the Clio, the prize for the best historical film of the year, and film evenings with the nominated and other films.
