Located in the heart of Munich’s art district, the University of Television and Film Munich (HFF) is one of the most renowned training institutions for filmmakers in the German-speaking world.
The university at Bernd-Eichinger-Platz, occupied since 2011, offers not only space for creative processes but also for technically sophisticated filmmaking – with cinemas, studios, and editing suites of the highest standard.
HFF stands for an education that combines artistic freedom with hands-on practice, and sees itself as a place of experimentation, innovation, and socially relevant storytelling.
In this environment, KINO ASYL has been a regular guest with film screenings since 2016, thanks to its cooperation with HFF.
