The FFA (German Film Funding Agency) has published the figures for the 2023 cinema year and they are positive: visitor numbers are gradually rising back towards pre-Corona levels, even if they remain low compared to 10 or 15 years ago.
What is particularly exciting, however, is the sharp increase in documentary film viewers; the number of visitors has more than doubled: 2.7% of cinema tickets were bought for documentaries.
Among the top 100 are
Heart of Oak
Anselm
Lars Eidinger - To Be or Not to Be
Bird's Eye Views
Heaven Can Wait
Goodbye Buenos Aires
Anne Sophie Mutter - Vivace
...with a wide range of social issues that mobilize.
