Entertainment for the whole family is offered with Victor and the Secret of Crocodile Mansion and Animals United – Adventure in Africa .
The only documentary presented at the festival, Sound of Heimat – Germany Sings! provides an insight into the lively, inventive and creative traditional German music scene.
