Following a successful partnership, FTSP FRISIA - TREUHAND Schmädeke GmbH & Co. KG is expanding its commitment and will support the Oldenburg Film Festival as a sponsor going forward.

The Cinemaxx Oldenburg will once again host the festival’s opening in 2025: the 32nd edition of the Oldenburg International Film Festival will begin there on September 10.

At the same time, the festival is reinforcing and building upon an established collaboration: after several years of working together as an official partner, FTSP FRISIA - TREUHAND Schmädeke GmbH & Co.
