up-and-coming Intern. Film Festival Hannover

1.) This is a discovery festival, a place to meet and a springboard for young talents up to the age of 27 years from Germany and all over the world. Important: Please don't forget to indicate the year of birth of the director in your submission. The age of the director in the year of production is decisive. 2.) Applicants may enter one or more works. 3.) There are no limitations regarding the subject or duration of your film. 4.) Completion Date: after the 1st of september 2019. 5.) There are 2 categories a film can be submitted to: the international competition for films from all countries except Germany and the national competition for films only from Germany. 6.) The director and the team of each selected film are invited to a meeting with the audience and all members of the jury. This year there is a special online edition of the festival because of the pandemic. The new format gives us the opportunity to add new features: we will stream the selected films from safe servers that you can only access with a personal registration. We will set up a festival studio in Hanover. There all festival contributions will be produced and broadcasted live by our team members and hosts. From there we will have live-talks with the filmmakers. We will be able to get a glimpse of their world, their country and virtually connect them with other filmmakers. We will also have live talks with experts and the jury will be present to watch the whole program. If the situation permits, we will have a live award show live in Hanover at the end. We will invite the winning filmmakers to join digitally and show them on big screens.The whole stream will be internationally. As we invited the filmtalents to Hannover in the past years, we now go out to visit them at their homes – virtually. We will do everything in our power to create a warm and familiar atmosphere at the festival as ever. And in 2023 we will hopefully have the next edition of the festival live and in person in Hannover.
