The submitted short films should be up to 15 minutes long and can cover the issue from factual or fictional perspectives, so we accept all submissions spanning from fiction across documentary, animations, and including comedy or experimental genres.
During the festival, awards will be awarded in the categories ‘fiction’, ‘documentary’ and ‘animation’. The awards include a prize of €1000 in each category.
And there is one more thing: we love to be surprised! As you can tell from having a look around previous festivals, we love everything that goes beyond categorizations or conventional boxes. We’re looking very much forward to see your submissions that deal with science fiction, documentaries, animations, fictional pieces, design, experimental work, and anything else that you would like to explore.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”How to submit?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:left|color:%23609c44″ google_fonts=”font_family:Jura%3A300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_id=”upload”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]To submit your film, please upload your film via one of the listed websites below, fill in the form and send it to us!
