Premiere of Woodwalkers 2: Students excited, film funding awaits!
On January 19, 2026, Leipzig was the scene of a warm welcome for the “Woodwalkers 2” team. The cinema operator in the Saxon metropolis ensured a smooth start to the film's premiere. After the screening, things got colorful: there was a huge crowd at the book signing, and Theo in particular could hardly process the many hearts of his fans quickly enough. “I wanted to give everyone a moment, but it was quite a mess,” reported the author, who traveled to Leipzig for the event.
With a short stopover in Berlin under their belt, the team continued on to Schwerin the next morning. The author took the opportunity to chat with Bianca, the boss of the production company blue eyes, on the train. This meeting was particularly valuable because they were able to initiate crucial discussions about the planned financing of the third part of the “Woodwalkers” series.
Student questions and film support
In Schwerin, a morning performance awaited eight school classes, who took the opportunity to ask curious questions. In return, the students received a class photo, signed posters and autograph cards to take home. Such events are not only fun for young people, but also promote bonds between filmmakers and the young target group.
An important aspect of the film industry is financing, which is often made possible through special funding programs. In this context, the Cinema Guide website emphasizes that the funding opportunities for cinema companies vary depending on the federal state. For example, they support Film funding Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein and the MV film funding special presentations and innovative marketing measures to secure cultural cinema in the long term.
Cinema Program Award: An important symbol for film culture
Another important element in the German cinema landscape is the annual award Cinema program price. This prize is an award for culturally outstanding annual film programs and is awarded by the Federal Government for Culture and Media. The annual funding volume for this prize now totals 1.8 million euros. This support is particularly important to help small and medium-sized cinemas overcome competition from large multiplexes.
The jury for the Cinema Program Prize is made up of well-known personalities from the film industry, including David Forcht and Torsten Frehse. These valuable voices decide which cinemas receive awards for their dedicated film work and cultural contributions.
On Thursday, the “Woodwalkers” team will finalize the script for the third part of the film in Munich. The exciting journey into the world of “Woodwalkers” continues, and the commitment to the right financing is a crucial factor.
