The Film Heritage Festival shows films from bygone eras that, thanks to extensive restoration work, can be seen again, and presents restored lost films from different countries to the public for the first time ever.
The program consists of film screenings, workshop reports, lectures, and panel discussions. The 2026 theme was "Risky Business." The focus was on films featuring characters who take risks, gamble big or make decisions with high stakes. The program also highlighted the risks behind the scenes, such as those involved in film production.
