What a beautiful day! The Landshut Short Film Festival and Dynamo Kurzfilm e.V. have been awarded the Culture Prize of the District of Lower Bavaria.

For the first time since the introduction of its cultural award, the district of Lower Bavaria has honored the short film format. The award is for us a very great honor and appreciation of our cultural commitment, moreover, it is also a strong statement for the cultural asset film. We would like to thank the jury for this great award, District Councilor Martina Hammerl, who nominated us, and the Executive Director of Culture, Dr. Maximilian Seefelder.

The award ceremony on 12.10.2021 at Kinopolis was a wonderful and unforgettable evening for us. We were very happy about the wonderful words and the laudation of the president of the district parliament Dr. Olaf Heinrich and the vice president of the district parliament Dr. Thomas Pröckl.
