About the film
In his feature debut, Cleo, German filmmaker Erik Schmitt turns the streets of modern-day Berlin into a colorful and mystical setting in which a young woman is not only hunting for treasure, but also working through the demons of her past. Schmitt deploys a unique style of narration in this fairy tale, using quirky set pieces and editing techniques as well as making the most of charming performances from his leads.

About the Twin Cities German Film Festival
The Germanic-American Institute is proud to announce a new annual event, the Twin Cities’ first German film festival! This four-day event is produced with support from the DEFA Film Library at UMass Amherst and the Goethe-Institut Chicago. The inaugural theme, “Reel Women,” highlights German films with women at the center of the narrative—women who use their passions and skills to instigate changes in their own lives and in the lives of those around them.
