Press accreditation

Accreditation is open to journalists and media representatives from print, radio, television and online sectors with a current editorial assignment.

We only offer dual accreditation, which allows you to attend events on site and access the streaming offer on the website of Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis.

Accreditation precedure

You can choose between fee-based and fee-free press accreditation.
The price for fee-based press is € 40,- (incl. 7% VAT) for the accreditation period. Anything after that period costs an additional € 15,- (incl. 7% VAT).

If you are accrediting for the first time, please send us an email to akkreditierung@ffmop.de including the following information:
