Mayor of Culture Dagmar Ruscheinsky on the cancellation of the film nights this year by the organiser
Neo Meisterwerke GmbH today announced the cancellation of the Chemnitz Film Nights for this year. Mayor of Culture Dagmar Ruscheinsky commented as follows:
"The City of Chemnitz is surprised by the cancellation of this year's Chemnitz Film Nights and deeply regrets it. For two years now, there has been contractual security for the events up to and including 2023, so the organiser has had planning security for this year for a long time.
Negotiations between the City of Chemnitz and Neo Meisterwerke for a continuation beyond 2025 are so far advanced that we continue to expect a contract to be signed soon. It was agreed with the team of festival director Michael Claus that the contract would be finalised as soon as possible; the date has been announced for the beginning of May. This means that the City of Chemnitz will also have planning security for the years 2024 to 2026.
We are interested in ensuring that such a format continues to be part of the Chemnitz Summer."
