After 35 years of bringing the latest in German cinema to New York audiences at the Museum of Modern Art, KINO! reboots at two new locations this year: The Museum of The Moving Image (36-01 35th Ave, New York, NY 11106) and The Quad Cinema (34 W 13th St # B, New York, NY 10011). This long-running fest presents 10 films — four of them North American premieres — to screen daily at the Quad from June 13-19, 2014.

Programmed by an independent jury of New York industry pros — Denise Kassell, Ian Stimler and Karl Rozemeyer — and organized by Munich-based German Films Service + Marketing GmbH, the national information and advisory center for the promotion of German films worldwide. It was established in 1954 under the name Export-Union of German Cinema as the umbrella association for the Association of German Feature Film Producers, the Association of New German Feature Film Producers and the Association of German Film Exporters.

KINO! kicks off with the June 12 opening night gala screening of West by the critically acclaimed director Christian Schwochow at the Queens Museum of Moving Image. Director Christian Schwochow will be present at the screenings.

Having won the FIPRESCI award and the Best Actress award at the Montreal World Film Festival, West has been picked up for theatrical distribution by Main Street Films and will be released later this year.

KINO! introduces new elements to the fest such as a last minute surprise film and a theatrical run of Nan Goldin – I Remember Your Face, a documentary by Sabine Lidl about the New York photographer, which will have daily screenings in Manhattan’s Quad Cinema.

Other films at the festival include:

• Anywhere Else, by Ester Amrami
• A Pact, by Denis Dercourt
• Art War, by Marco Wilms (Director Marco Wilms will be present at the screenings.)
• Banklady, by Christian Alvart
• Finsterworld, by Frauke Finsterwald (Director Frauke Finsterwald and author Christian Kracht will be present at screenings. )
• Hanna’s Journey, by Julia von Heinz (Director Julia von Heinz will be present at the screenings.)
• Whispers Behind The Wall, by Grzegorz Muskala
