SHORT FILM SHOWCASE! U.S. PREMIERE!

Presented by German Films and the German Federal Film Board (FFA), this beloved annual showcase premieres the most remarkable student shorts – the NEXT GENERATION of German Cinema – together with the best German shorts under 5 minutes – the winners of the FFA’s SHORT TIGER Award 2020. This year's expert jury includes Katrin Küchler (MDR unicato), actress Marleen Lohse and Dr. Christian Bräuer (Yorck Cinemas), who have selected 13 short films representing the diversity of forms, genres and skillful filmmaking talent that international audiences have come to expect from German shorts. These deeply personal and universal stories confirm the notion that short film is an independent art form deserving of the big screen and the awareness of audiences worldwide. Various languages with English subtitles.
