German Short Film Competition

The German Short Film Competition is one of our most popular programs. So that everyone gets a chance to see it and vote for their favourite film, we show it on two separate days. Sunday’s screening is not just the festival’s highlight, it’s also a special

event for all short film fans. Directors or members of production teams from all films will be present to answer questions, the best possibility to get close to our guests. Of course there will be a special music event too. Thanks go out to the prize sponsors: the State Capital of Wiesbaden (1st and 3rd prizes), Magenta TV (2nd prize and non-cash prize "Post Production Color Grading Special" for the winning film) and Pille Filmgeräteverleih (non-cash prize consisting of film equipment).
