Movies Belong on the Big Screen
The first works of young filmmakers are the focus of the abgedreht! Film Festival, which screens over 50 of the best films by students and young artists every year. The festival also provides these budding talents with a forum for discussing their craft and a place to benefit from the exchange of diverse ideas.聽
All submissions must come from filmmakers under 27 years old. Additionally, filmmakers must themselves be from Hamburg or the surrounding region or have set their film here. Submissions range from experimental films to documentaries to animation and fiction.
At the end of the festival, an expert jury selects its four favourite films, which are then celebrated at an award ceremony.
About the abgedreht! Film Festival
The festival has been going strong for more than three decades. It gives young directors a platform to present their work to interested viewers and enables direct feedback via discussions with the audience.
The film festival took place for the first time in 1988 under the title 鈥榋oomed Out鈥�. Since then, filmmakers between the ages of seven and 27 have had a place to debut work and experience the reactions of the audience.
The entire film program & further information is available at online (site in German).
