FILMSCHOOLFEST MUNICH (40)

Festival start: 14 November 2021      Festival end: 20 November 2021

FILMSCHOOLFEST MUNICH has been one of the most important festivals for young filmmakers worldwide since 1981. Each year, it offers young filmmakers from all over the world a platform for presenting their own short films and exchanging ideas about filmmaking. For one week each November, Munich becomes the focal point of up-and-coming international filmmaking — a place for lively exchange, networking, and discussion.

The short fiction, documentary, and animated films screened in international competition are eligible for valuable prizes, which are awarded by an independent festival jury. In addition, FILMSCHOOLFEST MUNICH presents the highly lucrative Climate Clips Award, given to clips that deal with sustainability and climate change. The festival is held at the Filmmuseum München and the Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München (HFF). An extensive supporting program with panel discussions and master classes complements the program of films.
