"Clean Thursday" is a virulent contribution to the discussion over the irreversible damage of war. The film uses its images to resist efforts to whitewash the war.
Founded in 1955 as "Leipziger Kultur- und Dokumentarfilmwoche" (Leipzig Week for Cultural and Documentary Film), the festival is headed by Christoph Terhechte since the beginning of 2020. An Ecumenical Jury existed since 1990. It was transformed into an Interreligious Jury in 2016.
