For our friends the Germans, putting on a film festival amounts to another excuse to put out a great spread. When the Hannover Committee of the
Sister City Association of Kansas City presents its fourth-annual German Film Festival at the Mission Theater (5909 Johnson Drive in Mission), expect to find weisswurst, knackwurst, cheese, fruit, desserts and beverages (including beer and wine) available for purchase. Having begun Tuesday evening with the World War I drama
Joyeux Noel (
Frohe Weihnacht), the festival continues tonight at 7 with Til Schweiger's romantic comedy
Keinohrhasen and with matinees at 3 p.m. Saturday (the 2004 documentary
Rhythm Is It!) and Sunday (2003's
Herr Lehmann). The films are in German with English subtitles (except
Rhythm) and rated PG-13 (except
Keinohrhasen, recommended for ages 16 and older). Doors open 30 minutes before each free screening. For more information, call 816-452-4185, e-mail
